The ammonium ion, NH+4 , would have covalent bonds because both nitrogen and hydrogen are nonmetals. Of these covalent bonds, 1 of them would be considered a dative covalent bond, which is a covalent bond where both shared electrons come from the same atom.

The answer is meant to be a dative bond because hydrogen ion contains no electrons at all, the nitrogen atom in ammona shares its remaining two electrons with it.
