ANSWER:

Problem 13

Some plant fertilizer compounds are (NH4)2SO4, Ca3 (PO4)2, K2O, P2O5, and KCl. Which of these compounds contain both ionic and covalent bonds?

                                                               Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 2

An ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound . The covalent bond is a type of a bond in which electrons are shared by atoms.

If an electronegativity difference between the two atoms is equal to 1.9 or above , the bond will be ionic. If an electronegativity difference between the two atoms is less than 1.9, the bond will be covalent.

Some compounds containing ionic and covalent bonds, a group of elements that are covalently bonded together and have positive and negative ions are called polyatomic ions.
