Solution

The compound that contains both ionic and covalent bonds is NaNO3.

Here's why:

NaNO3, or Sodium Nitrate, is made up of two parts: Na+ (Sodium ion) and NO3- (Nitrate ion).

  1. The bond between the Sodium ion (Na+) and the Nitrate ion (NO3-) is an ionic bond. Ionic bonds occur between a metal and a non-metal. Sodium (Na) is a metal and Nitrate (NO3) is a non-metal.

  2. Within the Nitrate ion (NO3-) itself, the bonds between the Nitrogen (N) atom and the Oxygen (O) atoms are covalent bonds. Covalent bonds occur between non-metals. Both Nitrogen and Oxygen are non-metals.

Therefore, NaNO3 contains both ionic and covalent bonds.
