Question

Dative bond is present in the molecule :

• A. $N{H}_3$
• B. $C{O}_2$
• C. $NaCl$
• D. None of these.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

None of these.

A dative bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where one of the atoms provides both electrons that form the bond i.e. a kind of 2-center, 2-electron bond.

Here, covalent bond is present in $N{H}_3$ and $C{O}_2$, whereas ionic bond is present in $NaCl$.

So, there is no dative bond in $N{H}_3$, $C{O}_2$ and $NaCl$.

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
