MCQ
Which of the following molecules contains a coordinate bond?
  • A
    Carbon dioxide $\left( CO _2\right)$
  • B
    Water $\left( H _2 O \right)$
  • Ammonium ion $\left( NH _4^{+}\right)$
  • D
    Oxygen molecule $\left( O _2\right)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
Ammonium ion $\left( NH _4^{+}\right)$
(c) Ammonium ion $\left( NH _4^{+}\right)$
Explanation : In the ammonium ion $\left( NH _4^{+}\right)$, one of the hydrogen atoms is bonded to the nitrogen through a coordinate bond. The nitrogen atom donates a lone pair of electrons to the hydrogen ion $\left( H ^{+}\right)$to form this bond, fulfilling the octet rule for nitrogen and the duplet rule for hydrogen.
