A co-ordinate covalent bond is present in:

Correct answer: C. Hydronium ion

  • A. Nitride ion
  • B. Chloronium ion
  • C. Hydronium ion
  • D. All of these

Explanation

The hydronium ion (H₃O⁺) is formed when a water molecule (H₂O) uses one of its lone pairs of electrons to form a bond with a hydrogen ion (H⁺), which has an empty orbital. This type of bond, where one species provides both electrons, is a coordinate covalent bond.
