Ionic bonds and also covalent bonds
The compound itself is an ionic compound since NO3 is a polyatomic ion with a charge of -1. But within the polyatomic ion is a covalent bond. Since polyatomic ions are basically covalent bonds with a charge.
Sodium nitrate is an ionic compound of Na+ and NO3- ions. The NO3- ion contains covalent bonds between nitrogen and oxygen.
It is an ionic solid crystalline compound.
The electron dot diagram shows bonding by a 'cross' (x) as the electron of the other atom. Therefore shows bonding. Either ionic or covalent. In covalent it shows within atoms and in ionic the electrons are separate as it is transferred and not shared.
A polyatomic ion is charged and will form ionic bonds; for example, the sulfate ion SO42- forms many compounds, such as sodium sulfate. The bonds holding polyatomic ions together are covalent.
Almost all of the compounds of carbon are formed by covalent bonding. Compounds such as diamond and graphite show strict covalent character in bonding.
Every bond formed show both ionic and covalent character to different extent. Even a bond formed between similar atoms show a slight ionic character as their electron distribution is most probably asymmetrical.
Yes. An ionic compound is between a cation and an anion. NH4+ (ammonium) serves as the cation and Cl- (Chloride ion) serves as the anion.You can also think about it this way. NH4 bonds covalently but the nitrogen still has one remaining electron that is not being bonded, this will TRANSFER to the Chlorine; making it an ionic bond.(Ionic bonds show a transfer of electrons whereas covalent bonds are when electrons are being shared.)While it does have covalent bonds in it, yes, it is an ionic compound.

With itself. Molecular bonding theory and the bond order show a sigma pi discrepancy ( bonding/anti-bonding ) that disallows this tetra-covalent carbon to carbon interaction. Google this for a fuller explanation.
The ionic bond would be harder as it is harder to show the ionic charges.
amphoteric
Every bond formed show both ionic and covalent character to different extent. Even a bond formed between similar atoms show a slight ionic character as their electron distribution is most probably asymmetrical.
The lithum cation is small and therefore highly polarising.(Fajans rules) Lithium chloride is relatively low melting and unlike any of the other group1 metal chlorides forms hydrates. Lithium salts often exhibit covalent characteristics. The bonding is ionic with some covalent character.

gases usually show covalent bonding with weak intermolecular forces that comprehends its physical state of a "gas" which in latin means chaos.
NO!!!! It a covalent bond. Any one Carbon atom makes four single covalent bonds to four adjacent carbon atoms. The structure is referred to as ADAMANTINE. Diamond is an ALLOTROPE of Carbon. Othe carbon allotropes are graphite(soot) and Buckminster Fullerene(Footballene)
A coordinate covalent bond is when two atoms have a covalent bond where the two electrons that are shared by the atoms in the bond come from only one of the atoms. This bond does not have any different properties than a polar covalent bond it is just named differently to show that the electrons came from an atom with a lone pair. This occurs when a Lewis base donates electrons to a Lewis acid.
