Yes, it contains both.

The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.

What kind of bonds do compounds have?

All organic compounds contain covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen, and often one or more other elements. A few, such as sodium acetate also contain ionic bonds.


Is NaCH2CO2 an ionic or covalent bond?

NaCH2CO2 is a compound, not a bond. It contains sodium (Na) which forms ionic bonds with the acetate ion (CH2CO2), which contains covalent bonds within the acetate group.


Is soduim acetate covalent or ionic?

Sodium acetate is an ionic compound. It is composed of sodium ions (Na+) and acetate ions (CH3COO-) held together by ionic bonds resulting from the transfer of electrons between the atoms.


Organic compounds can have bonds?

Yes, organic compounds can have a variety of bonds including covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds. These bonds form between atoms within the organic molecule and can affect its structure and properties.


Does NaF contain covalent bonds?

No, NaF contains ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between the sodium (Na) cation and the fluoride (F) anion, in which electrons are transferred from sodium to fluorine. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which is not the case in NaF.


Is LiC2H3O2 ionic or covalent bond?

LiC2H3O2 is a covalent bond. The compound lithium acetate consists of covalent bonds between lithium and the acetate ion, which itself has covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms.


Is S8 ionic or covalent?

Sulfur and Oxygen are both non-metals so their chemical bond is a covalent one.


Is sodium and sulfur likely to form covalent bonds?

no, sodium is a metal and metals don't form covalent bonds

Acetate ionic and covalent bonds?

Acetate ions have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the positively charged cation and the negatively charged acetate ion is ionic, while the bonds within the acetate ion itself (between carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms) are covalent.


Is calcium acetate covalent or ionic?

Calcium acetate is ionic. It is formed when a calcium cation (Ca2+) and an acetate anion (C2H3O2-) bond together through ionic bonds, which involve the transfer of electrons.


Are All organic compounds are covalently bonded?

Most of them are, though there are a few that are ionic such as sodium acetate and other organic acid salts. These include ionic bonds, but also contain covalent bonds within a polyatomic ion.
