How many of the σ bonds in H₂SO₄ are coordinate covalent bonds? A)0 B)2 C)4 D)6

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coordinate covalent bonds are formed where one atom donates both of the electrons in the bonding pair to the other atom. In the given molecule, there are 2 sulfur atoms (S) and 2 phosphorus atoms (P) that have a lone pair of electrons available to form coordinate covalent bonds. Each of these atoms forms a coordinate covalent bond with a boron atom (B) connected to an SO group. Therefore, there are 2 coordinate covalent bonds in the molecule.
