Which of the following does not have coordinate bond?
Options
- ASO ₂
- BHNO ₃
- CH ₂ SO ₃
- DHNO ₂
Correct answer
D. HNO ₂
Step-by-step solution
A. SO ₂ (Sulfur Dioxide) 1. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and each oxygen has 6 valence electrons. 2. In SO ₂ , sulfur forms two double bonds with two oxygen atoms. 3. One of the oxygen atoms can donate a lone pair to sulfur, forming a coordinate bond. 4. Therefore, SO ₂ has a coordinate bond. B. HNO ₃ (Nitric Acid) 1. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, each oxygen has 6, and hydrogen has 1. 2. In HNO ₃ , nitrogen forms one double bond with one oxygen and single bonds with the other oxygen and hydrogen. 3. The nitr
