Question

How to identify weather a compound is ionic or covalent or coordinate covalent

Answer 1

An ionic bond is a chemical bond between two atoms in which one atom seems to donate its electron to another atomCovalent bonds, on the other hand, appear to involve two atoms sharing electrons reach a more stable electron configurationSome compounds contain both ionic and covalent bonds. These compounds contain polyatomic ions. Many of these compounds contain a metal, a nonmetal, and also hydrogen.

There is a couple different ways to determine if a bond is ionic or covalent. By definition, an ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals. So you usually just look at the periodic table and determine whether your compound is made of a metal/nonmetal or is just 2 nonmetals. The exception is a compound made with ammonium (NH4+) Since ammonium is an ion, it forms ionic compounds. If the compound begins with H, it's an acid.

Answer 2

Explanation:

if a compound is made from a metal and a non metal , it will be an ionic bond.............

if a compound is made of both non metals ,then it with be a covalent bond..................
