Is silver nitrate a covalent bond?
Silver Nitrate is not a covelant bond it is and Ionic
What type bond is ammonium acetate?
There are two types of bonding in ammonium sulphate. In ammonium ion, ntrogen and hydrogen are bonded by covalent bonds (intermolecular / Van Der Waals forces) as both of the elements are non-metals. Between ammonium and sulphate, both ions, they are joined together by ionic bonds.
Is ammonium a ionic?
ammonium compounds are ionic compounds but with in ammonium ion three hydrogens form covalent bonds while 4th forms coordinate covalent bond.
Is ammonium ion a covalent or ionic bond?
The ammonium ions itself is held together by covalent bonds, but it will form ionic bonds with negative ions.
Is ammonium fluoride is ionic or polar covalent bond?
NH4 + and F - Form the ionic bond, NH4F ------
Is ammonium sulfate an ionic bond or covalent?
Covalent

Ammonium nitrate polarity?
It is considered an Ionic bond. Ammonium donates an electron and nitrate accepts an electron. By itself, ammonium ion is a molecular compound and the nitrate ion is a molecular compound, but when combined they are considered to be ionic. Only molecular compounds can be covalent bonded and are designated: covalent, polar, or nonpolar. The difference between polar and nonpolar depends on the difference of electronegativities of the atoms present.

Is ammonium fluoride is ionic or polar covalent bond?
NH4 + and F - Form the ionic bond, NH4F ------
What type of bond is potassium nitrate?
ionic; it would donate one electron and carry a positive charge
What type of bonding is in lead nitrate?
Lead Nitrate itself is an ionic bond But Nitrate has a covalent bond within itself
What is the bond of ammonium ion NH plus 4?
The bond in the ammonium ion (NH4+) is a covalent bond. The nitrogen atom forms covalent bonds with each of the four hydrogen atoms by sharing electrons.
How many cordinate covalent bond in ammonium ion?
Ions Have Ionic bonds, Not covalent. Therefore none.
What kind of bonding in NaNO3?
Ionic between the Na+ and NO3- ions, and covalent N-O bonds within the nitrate ion.
