Which of the following compounds is an example of an electrovalent bond?

A.

NaCl (sodium chloride)

B.

CO2 (carbon dioxide)

C.

H2O (water)

D.

CH4 (methane)

Correct answer is A

NaCl, commonly known as sodium chloride or table salt, is an example of an electrovalent bond. Sodium (Na) donates one electron to chlorine (Cl), resulting in the formation of Na+ and Cl- ions, which are held together by the ionic bond.
