Question

Give an example of an ionic compound containing hydrogen

Answer 1

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. Many bonds can be covalent in onesituation and ionic in another. For instance, hydrogen chloride, HCl, is a gas in which the hydrogen and chlorine are covalently bound, but if HCl is bubbled into water, it ionizes completely to give the H+ and Cl- of a hydrochloric acid solution.
