NH3 contains covalent bond
Many elements can form ionic and covalent bonds.With metals the non metals generally form ionic bonds- but with other non-metals they form covalent bonds. Examples:- The halogens (group 17) are covalent diatomic molecules, e.g. F2, Cl2 but generally form ionic compounds with metals . Oxygen forms ions, O2- in metallic oxides but bonds covalently to hydrogen in water nitrogen in ammonia, sulfur in H2S etc hydrogen forms the hydride ion in compounds such as LiH but bonds covalently in water and when bonded to carbon nitrogen forms the N3- ion in compounds such as Li3N but bonds covalently with oxygen in nitrogen dioxide.
covalent bonding
Li3N is lithium nitride
Formula: Li3N
electronegativity increaseas as one goes up from the bottom of the periodic table lithium and Hydrogen have very different electronagativity values. lithim must donate a electron to hydrogen to obtain a noble gas configuration as well as hydrogen will also accept electron from lithium to achieve the configuration of a noble gas. with that being said Lih is an ionic bond.

for lithium are LiH,LiF LiCl,LiBr and LiI and but for nitrogen are BN,AlN and GaN , but binary ionic compounds of nitrogen are unstable.
what kind of bond is li3n
Li3N is lithium nitride
Formula: Li3N
Li3N; the lithium ion has a charge of +1 (Li+) while the nitride ion has a charge of -3 (N3-)
Yes, in fact any compound that contains Nitrogen will decompose rather readily all by itself.
