Best Answer

Some ionic compounds contain polyatomic ions. These are ions that consist of two or more atoms held together by covalent bond like in a molecule, except that it has an overall electrical charge.

One common polyatomic ion is the carbonate ion, CO32- It will combine with other ions to form ionic compounds such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)

Hydrogen Sulphide is covalent.They are both non-metals.


Why sodium hydroxide is good example of both ionic and covalent bond may exist in one compound?

Sodium hydroxide is a good example of a compound with both ionic and molecular bonds because the bond between the sodium ion and hydroxide ion is ionic, but the bond between the oxygen atom and the hydrogen atom in the hydroxide ion itself is covalent. Sodium hydroxide is typically referred to as an ionic compound because the ionic bond dominates its chemistry.


Is FCl an ionic bond?

No An ionic compound is formed when a metal and a non-metal bond together. Both F and Cl are non-metals, therefore FCl is a covalent bond. I am, however, not sure as to whether FCl is molecular or network


Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?

No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.


Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?

Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.


Is SOCl2 ionic or covalent?

Sulfur and oxygen form a covalent bond. You would expect this, since they are both non-metals. To get an ionic bond you need a metal bonding with a non-metal.


Can a molecule be held together by both a covalent bond and ionic bond?

I think so. Here covalent and there ionic.


What type of bonding is in the compound Chloride?

Chlorine can be involved in both ionic and covalent bonding. As it is a chloride, I would believe it to be a ionic bond, as a covalent bond would state the number of chloride atoms, e.g. dichloride.
