Q. Which compound contains both ionic and covalent bonds?
✅ Correct Answer: (D)
All of the above
Explanation: Here all the given compounds have both ionic and covalent bonds.
NaNO3 - In Sodium nitrate, Nitrate is covalently bonded as nitrogen is bonded with 3 oxygen atoms. And this nitrate is ionically bonded with sodium.
CaSO4 - In Calcium sulphate, sulphate is covalently bonded as sulphur is bonded with 4 oxygen atoms. And this sulphate is ionically bonded with calcium.
NH4Cl - In Ammonium chloride, ammonium is covalently bonded as nitrogen is bonded with 4 hydrogen atoms. And this ammonium is ionically bonded with chlorine.
