The bond between the sodium ion (Na+) and the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is ionic. The negative charge on bicarbonate ion is distributed between two oxygen atoms by resonance. The rest of the bonds within the bicarbonate ion (3 carbon-oxygen bonds and 1 oxygen-hydrogen bond) are covalent.

What are the two type of chemical bonds?

The two types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds form between ions with opposite charges, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Which is stronger ionic or covalent?

Ionic bonds are generally stronger than covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between ions with opposite charges, resulting in a strong electrostatic attraction. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which are generally not as strong as the electrostatic forces in ionic bonds.
