Which of the following does not have coordinate bond?

Which of the following does not have coordinate bond?

Options

  1. ASO2\mathrm{SO}_2
  2. BHNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3
  3. CH2SO3\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3
  4. DHNO2\mathrm{HNO}_2

Correct answer

D. HNO2\mathrm{HNO}_2

Step-by-step solution

A. SO2\mathrm{SO}_2 (Sulfur Dioxide) 1. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and each oxygen has 6 valence electrons. 2. In SO2\mathrm{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, SO2\mathrm{SO}_2 has a coordinate bond. B. HNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3 (Nitric Acid) 1. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, each oxygen has 6, and hydrogen has 1. 2. In HNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3, nitrogen forms one double bond with one oxygen and single bonds with the other oxygen and hydrogen. 3. The nitrogen can use a lone pair to form a coordinate bond with one of the oxygens. 4. Therefore, HNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3 has a coordinate bond. C. H2SO3\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3 (Sulfurous Acid) 1. Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, each oxygen has 6, and hydrogen has 1. 2. In H2SO3\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3, sulfur forms two single bonds with two hydroxyl groups ((\mathrm{OH})) and one double bond with an oxygen atom. 3. The sulfur can donate a lone pair to form a coordinate bond with the remaining oxygen. 4. Therefore, H2SO3\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_3 has a coordinate bond. D. HNO2\mathrm{HNO}_2 (Nitrous Acid) 1. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, each oxygen has 6, and hydrogen has 1. 2. In HNO 2, nitrogen forms one double bond with one oxygen and a single bond with the hydroxyl group (OH). 3. The nitrogen does not have a lone pair available to donate to form a coordinate bond. 4. Therefore, HNO2\mathrm{HNO}_2 does not have a coordinate bond. Conclusion The compound that does not have a coordinate bond is HNO2\mathrm{HNO}_2.
