Question

The bonds present in $NaCN$ are :

• A. ionic bond
• B. covalent bond
• C. co-ordinate covalent bond
• D. ionic and covalent bonds

Answer 1

The correct option is D ionic and covalent bonds

$NaCN$ contains both ionic and covalent bonds.

$NaCN$ is present in the form of $N{a}^{+}$ and $C{N}^{-}$ ions which form ionic bonds.

The cyanide ion contains covalent bonds between $C$ and $N$ atoms.

These bonds include one sigma bond and two pi bonds.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
