Its ionic bonding. Because the cation ammonium (NH4) has a single electron in its valence shell, and Chlorine needs a single electron to fill its valence shell, it takes that one, and they stick together.

It also consists of covalent bond present in Ammonium ion between Nitrogen and Hydrogen atoms and one co-ordinate bond between one hydrogen and nitrogen.

Is NH3Cl an ionic or covalent bond?

NH4Cl consists of an ionic bond between the ammonium ion (NH4+) and chloride ion (Cl-). The ammonium ion is formed from the covalent bonding of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, but overall NH4Cl is considered ionic due to the transfer of electrons between the ammonium and chloride ions.


N-H bond in NH4Cl bond?

The N-H bond in NH4Cl is a covalent bond formed between a nitrogen atom and a hydrogen atom. In NH4Cl, the nitrogen atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms. This bond is generally considered polar covalent due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen.


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.
