Detailed explanation-1: -The ammonium ion is not a molecular ion because it is formed by the coordinate covalent bond between ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen ion (H+).
Detailed explanation-2: -The ion that results from the loss of an electron is called the molecular ion. The molecular ion is an example of a radical cation. It is a cation because of its plus charge, and a radical because not all of its electrons are found in pairs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ammonium cation is a positively-charged polyatomic ion with the chemical formula NH+4 or [NH 4] +. It is formed by the protonation of ammonia ( NH 3).
Detailed explanation-4: -Is CH4 ionic or covalent? What is a covalent compound? Methane, CH4, is a covalent compound with exactly 5 atoms that are linked by covalent bonds. We draw this covalent bonding as a Lewis structure (see diagram).
