- Predict whether the bonds in the following compounds are ionic or covalent: (a) NaI (sodium iodide); (b) H 2O 2 (hydrogen peroxide).arrow_forwardAmmonia reacts with boron trifluoride to form a stablecompound, as we saw in Section 8.7. (a) Draw the Lewisstructure of the ammonia–boron trifluoride reaction product.(b) The B—N bond is obviously more polar than the C—C bond. Draw the charge distribution you expect on theB—N bond within the molecule (using the delta plus anddelta minus symbols mentioned in Section 8.4). (c) Borontrichloride also reacts with ammonia in a similar way tothe trifluoride. Predict whether the B—N bond in the trichloridereaction product would be more or less polar thanthe B—N bond in the trifluoride product, and justify yourreasoning.arrow_forward19. :O: || :0-N- O: Which of the following statements, if true, would support the claim that the NO3 ion, represented above, has three resonance structures?
