Ionic, covalent and co-ordinate covalent bonds are simultaneously present in the molecular geometry of:

Correct answer: B. Ammonium hydroxide

  • A. Ammonia
  • B. Ammonium hydroxide
  • C. Hydrochloric acid
  • D. Water
  • E. Methane

Explanation

There are 3 covalent , 1 coordinate covalent bond in NH4+ ion, and 1 covalent bond in OH−. There is an ionic bond between NH4+ and OH-.So, this species simultaneously has 3 different types of bonds.

About Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
