What type of bond is formed between hydrogen and nitrogen in ammonia (NH3)? A. polar covalent B. ionic C. nonpolar covalent D. metallic

A. Polar covalent  

Explanation:

The polarity of a bond depends on the electronegativity difference (ΔEN) between the bonded atoms.

If the electronegativity difference between the atoms is between 0.4 and 1.7, the bond is polar covalent.

For an N-H bond, ΔEN = |3.04-2.20| = 0.84

So, the bond is polar covalent.

B is wrong. A bond is ionic only if ΔEN > 1.6.

C is wrong. A bond is nonpolar only if ΔEN < 0.4.

D is wrong. N and H are not metals.

b.final

answer: option (a) is the correct answer.

explanation:

the measurement of hydrogen ions in a solution is known as ph.

if ph of a solution is less than 7 then the solution is acidic. if ph of a solution is greater than 7 then the solution is basic.

when the ph of a solution equals 7, then the solution is considered as neutral.

the ph of pure water is 7, therefore, it means that concentration of hydronium ions equals that of hydroxide ions.
