Solution
The correct option is B Covalent compound
Correct answer is b) Covalent compound
Explanation of correct answer
- Covalent compounds are formed by the mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms.
- Covalent bond does not contain any ions.
- Hence they are bad conductor of electricity.
Explanation of incorrect answer
A) Ionic compound
- Ionic bond is formed by strong force of attraction between oppositely charged ion.
- In ionic bond there is ions, which conduct electricity
C) Coordinate compound
- It is type of covalent bond formed by sharing of electron pairs, but both electron pair is shared by one atom
- Compared to covalent bond, it conduct electricity
