Question

Why is Ammonium chloride both covalent and ionic bonds

Answer 1

Ammonium chloride has both covalent & ionic bond is simply because the bond that exist between ammonia is a covalent bond and the bond that exist between hydrochloride is an ionic bond so if both reacted together we are going to have both covalent and ionic bond because the hydrogen atom in the compound hydrochloride ...

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Ammonium chloride has both covalent & ionic bond is simply because the bond that exist between ammonia is a covalent bond and the bond that exist between hydrochloride is an ionic bond so if both reacted together we are going to have both covalent and ionic bond because the hydrogen atom in the compound hydrochloride will donate it last electron in its outer most shell to the ammonia compound thereby forming ammonium then it will have a covalent bond with chlorine atom.Hence Ammonium Chloride has two bonds:----> Ionic bond---> Covalent Bond.
• In ammonium ion, the hydrogen and nitrogen are forming a covalent bond. Thus, the given compound has 4 covalent bonds and 1 ionic bond
