Final answer:

Explanation of molecules containing both covalent and ionic bonds.


Explanation:

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, typically nonmetals. Ionic bonds occur between a metal and a nonmetal, resulting in the transfer of electrons.

Looking at the molecules in the options provided, MgCO3 contains both covalent and ionic bonds as it consists of both a metal (Mg) and nonmetals (C and O).

Therefore, MgCO3 (IV) is the molecule among the options that contains both covalent and ionic bonds.
