The reason why NH3 and H20 can form a coordinate covalent bond with H but CH4 cannot do so is because methane (CH4) only forms single bonds. Hydrogen (H) can form more than one bond.

Flourine, Oxygen and Nitrogen are strong enough for hydrogen bonding.
A way to remember this is Hydrogen FONding.

What kind of bond does NH4 plus form with Cl- to make ammonium chloride salt?
ionic bond: anion + cation (NH4+ Cl-)
Is ammonium fluoride is ionic or polar covalent bond?
NH4 + and F - Form the ionic bond, NH4F ------
Why ammonia react with hydrogen ion will form a positive compound?
Ammonia, NH3 is a Lewis base a lone pair on nitrogen atom may form a coordinate bond with any electrons deficient specie , with hydrogen ion it forms Ammonium ion, NH4+
Does NH4 have a hydrogen bond?
it's very complicated go ask your chemistry teacher. actually i don't know
What type of bond do water molecules form with each other?
Hydrogen Bond
Molecular ion shape of NH4?
NH4+, or ammonium, has a tetrahedral shape with a covalent bond angle of 109.5 degrees between the hydrogen atoms. The bond length of the nitrogen-hydrogen bond is about 1.04 Angstroms.

Hydrogen Bond
Can hydrogen and oxygen form an ionic bond?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen bond covalently.
How does Serine form a bond with Lysine?
Hydrogen bond
A hydrogen bond is a special form of an?
Covalent bond
How bonds does hydrogen have?
Hydrogen can form one bond.
Is a hydrogen bond stronger than a covelant bond?
No. A hydrogen bond isn't even an actual bond. It is a form of intermolecular attraction.
