The ozone molecule contains which type of bonding__________?

Correct answer: C. Both A and B

  • A. Dative bond
  • B. Covalent bond
  • C. Both A and B
  • D. Ionic Bond

Explanation

Ozone has covalent bonding, and its Lewis-structure description is often shown with one coordinate, or dative, contribution. Thus school-level treatments commonly classify it as involving both types, although the real molecule has equivalent resonance-delocalised bonds.
