Answer
The atomic number (Z) of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element. It uniquely identifies an element.
The chemical bonds present in NH₄Cl (ammonium chloride) are:
- Covalent bonds (between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms within the NH₄⁺ ion)
- Dative covalent bond (also known as coordinate bond, where the nitrogen atom donates both electrons to form a bond with one of the hydrogen atoms in NH₄⁺)
- Ionic bond (between the positively charged ammonium ion, NH₄⁺, and the negatively charged chloride ion, Cl⁻)
