Question

Compounds $KOH$ and $Ca{\left(OH\right)}_2$ contains what type of chemical bonds?

• A. Ionic and covalent
• B. Ionic only
• C. Covalent only
• D. Dative bond only

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ionic and covalent

Table salt is an example of an ionic compound. Sodium and chlorine ions come together to form sodium chloride, or $NaCl$. The sodium atom in this compound loses an electron to become $N{a}^{(}+)$ while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become $C{l}^{(}-)$. Potassium oxide, or $K_{2}O$, is another example of an ionic compound.
