(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound zinc bromide is held together by ionic or covalent bond is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The bond which occurs due to the electrostatic attraction in the oppositely charged ions is known as an ionic bond. The compounds that are formed by ionic bonds are known as ionic compounds. The atom which loses the electron is known as cation and the atom which gains the electron is known as anion.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound ammonia is held together by ionic or covalent bond is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The covalent bond is formed when there is a difference in the electronegativity’s between the atoms. In the molecule of water, the electronegativity of oxygen is more than hydrogen. So, the valence electrons in hydrogen are attracted towards the oxygen atom because of which a partial positive charge on hydrogen atom occurs and a covalent bond is formed.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the compound iodine hepta-fluoride is held together by ionic or covalent bond is to be stated.
Concept introduction:

- Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR.

Next, record any regiochemistry or stereochemistry considerations relevant to the reaction. You should also record any key aspects of the mechanism, such as forma- tion of an important intermediate, as a helpful reminder. You may want to keep track of all reactions that make carbon-carbon bonds, because these help you build large molecules from smaller fragments.
