(a)
Interpretation:
From the given compounds, whether it is ionic or covalent compoundhas to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Ionic compound:
An ionic bond forms when one or more electrons from one atom shifts to another atom, forming two positive and negative particles called ions. Positively charged particles are cations and negatively charged particles are anions. A compound consist of these ions bound together by electrostatic force is called ionic compound.
Covalent compound:
A bond formed between atoms by mutual sharing of electrons is called covalent bond. Compounds with covalent bond are called covalent compound or molecular compound.
