The molecule of sulphuric acid contains

A

ions, covalent, and coordinate bonds

B

ionic and covalent bonds

C

covalent and coordinate bonds

D

only covalent bonds

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The most likely Lewis structure of `H_2SO_4` is
`H-overset(..)underset(..)O-overset( :O: )overset(||)underset( :O: )underset(||)S-overset(..)underset(..)O-H`
It consists of only covalent bonds. Some textbooks describe the less plausible Lewis structure
`H-overset(..)underset(..)O-overset( :O: )overset(uarr)underset( :O: )underset(darr)S-overset(..)underset(..)O-H`
which contains both covalent and coordinate bonds.
