Which of the following molecules has the maximum number of dative bonds?

Correct answer: A. B3N3H6

  • A. B3N3H6
  • B. H2O2
  • C. NH4-
  • D. Al2O6

Explanation

Option Ais correct.The molecule that has the maximum number of dative bonds is B3N3H6.A dative bond is a type of chemical bond that is formed when one atom donates a pair of electrons to another atom. In B3N3H6, each of the boron atoms donates a pair of electrons to one of the nitrogen atoms. This gives each nitrogen atom a complete octet of electrons.

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.
