CSEC Chemistry · January 2007 · Paper 2 · Question 3(b)(ii)

Chlorine and ammonia react to form NH4Cl and NH2Cl only.

Both NH4Cl and NH2Cl dissolve in water. Aqueous NH4Cl conducts electricity, but aqueous NH2Cl does not. What does this information suggest about the type of bonding in NH4Cl and in NH2Cl?
