Correct answer: C. Co-ordinate bond

  • A. Ionic bond
  • B. Covalent bond
  • C. Co-ordinate bond
  • D. Chemical bond

Explanation

The Lewis concept explains the formation of a co-ordinate bond, where one atom donates an electron pair to another atom without sharing. This type of bond is often referred to as a dative covalent bond. In contrast, an ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons, typically forming between metals and non-metals. A covalent bond involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, which is different from the electron donation described by the Lewis concept. The term chemical bond is generic and includes various types of bonds, but the Lewis concept specifically addresses the co-ordinate bond.

About Acids, Bases and Salts

Acid and base behaviour is explained through the Bronsted-Lowry transfer of protons and the Lewis donation or acceptance of electron pairs. The topic includes pH, pOH, ionisation and water equilibrium, plus salt formation and hydrolysis, where a salt solution may become acidic, basic or neutral.
