Solution

The molecule that contains a covalent bond is C.N-. This is because covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share electrons. In this case, Carbon (C) and Nitrogen (N) are non-metals and they tend to form covalent bonds.

On the other hand, LiCl, MgO, and BeO are ionic compounds. This is because they are formed from a metal and a non-metal. In these cases, the metal tends to lose electrons to form a positive ion and the non-metal tends to gain electrons to form a negative ion. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of an ionic bond.
