Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound has both ionic and covalent bonding. The presence of Li (an alkali metal) suggests that there is an ionic bond between Li and other elements. The ₃ part of the compound contains two types of atoms (S and B) that can form covalent bonds with each other. Therefore, the compound has both ionic and covalent bonding. Hydrogen bonding requires hydrogen atoms that are bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine which are not present in this compound.
