Is Nh4Cl a ionic bond or covalent bond?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Ammonium chloride is generally considered as an ionic compound but this compound has three different types of bond.

There is ionic bond between NH4+ ion and Cl- ion.

There are N-H covalent bonds.

The formation of NH4+ from NH3 is sometimes decribed as the formation of a coordinate bond between NH3 and H+ , however once the bond is formed there is no difference between the four N-H bonds, NH4+ has a tetrahedral structure.

Answer 3

No, it is an ionic compound.
