Which of the following contains nondirectional bonds?

A

`BCl_3`

B

`BeCl_2`

C

`RbCl`

D

`NCl_3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Ionic bonds are nondirectional because they are purely electrostatic attractions. On the other hand, covalent bonds are directional in nature because they are formed by overlapping of atomic orbitals oriented in specific directions. `RbCl` is an ionic compound while others are molecular covalent compounds.
