Solution
The correct option is C Coordinate bond
Correct answer is option b) Covalent compound and c) Coordinate bond
Explanation of correct answer
- Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms.
- Due to sharing, there is no free electrons and no ions are formed.
- So covalent compounds are bad conductor of electricity.
- Like covalent compounds ,coordinate compounds are also bad conductor of electricity.
Explanation of incorrect answer
Option a) ionic compounds
- Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Due to the movement of ions, they are good conductor of electricity.
- Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten or aqueous state.
