Questions Related to coordinate bond

Which of the following compounds contain(s) both ionic and covalent bonds?

  1. $NH _{4}Cl$

  2. $KCN$

  3. $CuSO _{4}\cdot 5H _{2}O$

  4. $NaOH$


Correct Option: A,B,C,D

Consider following compounds:


$I: K _4[Fe(CN) _6], II:NH _4Cl, III: H _2SO _4$ 

Ionic, covalent and coordinate bonds are present in :

  1. I, II and III

  2. I and III

  3. II and III

  4. I and II


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$H _{2}SO _{4}$  has $3$ types of bonds- ionic, covalent and coordinate. Sulphur is the central atom,surrounded by $4$ oxygen atoms and $2$ hydrogen atoms places on left of any $2$ oxygen atoms. Now, oxygen shares one electron each with the sulphur and hydrogen atom. But by this only $2$ oxygen atoms will be able to complete octet. The remaining $2$ will complete by coordinate bonding. Both the oxygen atoms will take electrons from sulphur but sulphur won't take theirs ie sharing from only one end. This is called coordinate bond. Hydronium ions are attached with sulphate ions using ionic bonding
${ K } _{ 4 }[{ Fe(CN) } _{ 6 }]\ $: has ionic bond between ${ K }^{ + }and  { [{ Fe(CN) } _{ 6 }] }^{ 4- }$, coordinate bonding in $CN$ and covalent bond in ${ [{ Fe(CN) } _{ 6 }] }^{ 4- }$
$\ { NH } _{ 4 }Cl\ $: has ionic bond between $\ { { NH } _{ 4 } }^{ + }and  { Cl }^{ -}$, coordinate bonding in $\ { { NH } _{ 4 } }^{ + }$ and covalent bond in $\ { { NH } _{ 3 } .}^{  }\quad \$

Which of the following contains a coordinate covalent bond ?

  1. $N _2H^{+} _{5}$

  2. $BaCl _2$

  3. $HCl$

  4. $H _2O$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

${ N } _{ 2 }{ H } _{ 5 }^{ + }$ is formed from ${ N } _{ 2 }{ H } _{ 4 }$ which has a lone pair of electrons on $'N'$ and positive charge on $'H'$ takes away its electron and to complete duplet, a co-ordinate bond is present from $N$ to $H$.

$H _4N _2 + H^+ \rightarrow[H _4N _2\to H]^+$

Which of the following molecule has dative bond?

  1. CO

  2. $CO _3^{2-}$

  3. $SO _4^{-2}$

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A
