Question #a8fdc

Answer 1

Covalent.

Explanation:

The bond between the hydrogen atom `H` and the bromine atom `Br` in the hydrobromic acid `HBr` is covalent, since it forms from sharing electrons between `H` and `Br`.

A simple way to know whether the bond is ionic or covalent, is to check whether one of the elements is a metal or not.

Ionic bond forms between one metal element and one non metal. Example: `NaCl`. Sodium `Na` is a metal element.

Covalent bond forms between two non metal elements . Example, `H_2O`, `HCl`, `HBr`, etc.

Metal elements are located to the left of the stairs in the periodic table. (See below image).
