Question

Match the following molecules with the type of bonds present in each.

$\begin{array}{cc}& \\ \text{Molecule name}& \text{Type of bond}\\ & \\ \text{a) NaCl}& \text{A) Single covalent bond}\\ {\text{b) N}}_2& \text{B) Double covalent bond}\\ {\text{c) O}}_2& \text{C) Triple covalent bond}\\ {\text{d) CH}}_4& \text{D) Ionic bond}\end{array}$

• A. a- A, b- C, c- D, d- B
• B. a-D , b- B, c- C, d- A
• C. a- A , b- B , c- D , d- C
• D. a- D, b- C, c- B, d- A

Answer 1

The correct option is D a- D, b- C, c- B, d- A

1) NaCl contains ionic bond formed by the transfer of an electron from sodium atom to chlorine atom.
2) ${\text{N}}_2$ molecule contains a triple covalent bond formed by the sharing of three electrons between the two nitrogen atoms.
3) ${\text{O}}_2$ molecule contains a double covalent bond formed by the sharing of two electrons between the two oxygen atoms.
4) ${\text{CH}}_4$ molecule contains four single covalent bonds, each formed by the sharing of one electron between carbon and a hydrogen atom.
