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
Yes, the hydronium ion (H3O+) contains a dative bond. The hydronium ion is formed when a water molecule (H2O) donates a lone pair of electrons to a hydrogen ion (H+), resulting in the formation of H3O+. In this process, one oxygen atom in water donates a pair of electrons to the hydrogen ion, creating a coordinate covalent or dative bond ,hence this the correct answer.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
