what is the bond in Ammomina? NH3. is it hydrogen bond or covalent bond.
 
i don't think electronegativity difference is large enough for it to be considered an ionic bond. i agree with 'vvvv' i think it's covalent and hydrogen bond
 
It has to be hydrogen because hydrogen forms hydrogen bonds with flourine, oxygen and nitrogen. It has to be covalent because the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and Nitrogen is less than 1.7

Hydrogen electronegativity is 2.20
Nitrogen electronegativity is 3.04
Difference is 0.84
 
hydrogen bonds can be inter and intramolecular..straight from kaplan
