Its simple and comprehensive

The ammonium ion has four covalent bonds to hydrogen and the overall charge is +1. and has a regular tetrahedral shape, like methane. This can be considered to be formed as folows: - Nitrogen forms 3 covalent bond with 3 Hydrogens to make ammonia. The nitrogen atom in ammonia has a lone pair which can form a Co ordinate covalent bond with an H+ .

The ammonium ion forms an ionic bond with the chloride ion.

The correct formula for ammonium chloride is NH4Cl. NH4+ is a polyatomic ionic with a charge of 1+, and Cl- is the chloride ion with a charge of 1-. The bond between the ammonium ion and chloride ion is ionic.

The compound consists of NH4+ and Cl- these two units form an ionic bond.

inside the NH4+ cation the hydrogen atoms are attached to the nitrogen atome

by covalent bonds.
