From the dropdowns, identify whether the compound contains ionic bonds, covalent bonds, or both. a) CBr4 [ Select ] b) copper(II) sulfate [ Select ] c) N2O3 [ Select ] d) phosphorous trichloride

a) Covalent bonds

b) Covalent and ionic bonds

c) Covalent bonds

d) Covalent bonds

Explanation:

Metals and non-metals form ionic bonds (electrons are transferred), whereas nonmetals and nonmetals form covalent bonds.

Identify whether the compound contains ionic bonds, covalent bonds, or both.

a) CBr₄. C and Br are nonmetals. Thus, they form covalent bonds.

b) copper(II) sulfate. Sulfate contains S and O (nonmetals), which are bonded through covalent bonds. Sulfate is bonded to copper (metal) through an ionic bond.

c) N₂O₃. N and O are nonmetals. Thus, they form covalent bonds.

d) phosphorous trichloride. P and Cl are nonmetals. Thus, they form covalent bonds.
