Detailed Solution

  • In ammonium ion NH4+, the nitrogen atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. Three hydrogens are covalently bonded to the nitrogen atom whereas the fourth hydrogen is bonded through a coordinate bond. So a total of 4 bonds is formed by the nitrogen atom. Therefore, the covalency of the nitrogen atom is equal to 4.
