Solution

The correct option is D Hydrogen- Covalent bond
Ionic bond is the bond formed by the transfer of electrons between the atoms. While covalent bond is formed by sharing the electrons between the atoms.

- In the formation of hydrogen chloride, hydrogen and chlorine atoms share one pair of electrons. So, a single covalent bond is formed.

- In nitrogen molecule, one nitrogen atom shares three electrons with another and forms a triple covalent bond.

-In hydrogen molecule, one hydrogen atom shares one electron with another and forms a single covalent bond.

- In magnesium oxide, magnesium transfers two electrons to oxygen to form an ionic bond between magnesium and oxygen.
