Question 6 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Which is most likely a covalent compound?

Answer
A
LiF
B
MgS
C
NH3
D
CaCl2

Explanation

Covalent compounds usually form when nonmetal atoms share electrons. Nitrogen and hydrogen are both nonmetals, so NH3 is covalent. LiF, MgS, and CaCl2 each combine a metal with a nonmetal, making them most likely ionic compounds.
