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.
