Question

Among the following options, which molecule contains both ionic and covalent bonds?

• A. $C_6{H}_{14}$
• B. $MgC{l}_2$
• C. $(N{H}_4{)}_{2}S{O}_4$
• D. $H_{2}O$
• E. $C_2{H}_4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $(N{H}_4{)}_{2}S{O}_4$

Among the following options, $(N{H}_4{)}_{2}S{O}_4$ contains both ionic and covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds are present between ammonium ions $\left(N{H}_4^{+}\right)$ ions and sulfate ions $S{O}_4^{-2}$ ions. Covalent bonds are present between N atom and H atom. Also, covalent bonds are present between S atom and O atom.
