Question

How Many Dative Bonds Are In ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$?

Answer 1

The number of Dative bonds formed by ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$:

• Dative bonds are formed by the donation of electrons but covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons.
• In ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$, Sulphur forms covalent bond as it has six valence electrons.

Thus, the number of Dative bonds are zero in ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$.
