Conclusion:
The correct option is 3.
Note:
There is also hydrogen bonding between water and sulfate ions. Only four water molecules are
forming dative bonds with Cu2+. The fifth molecules is involved in H-bonding.

2) Which of the following contains both polar and non-polar bonds?
(IIT JEE 1997)
1) NH4Cl
2) HCN
3) H2O2
4) CH4
Logic & solution:
1) In NH4Cl, the N-H bond is polar due to appreciable electronegativity difference between N (3.0)
and H (2.1).
2) In HCN, the H-C and C-N bonds are polar due to electronegativity difference between C (2.5)
and N (3.0) for H-C bond as well as between C (2.5) and H (2.1) for C-N bond.
3) In H2O2, the O-H bond is polar due to electronegativity difference between O (3.5) and H (2.1).
Whereas, O-O bond is non-polar.
4) In CH4, the C-H bonds are also polar.
Note: Even though, the C-H bonds have a little polarity, you might have seen that they are
considered to be non-polar in the study of organic chemistry. It is a relative thing. They are less polar
when compared to bonds formed by carbon with other atoms like: C-O, C-N, C-X etc. Hence C-H
bonds are treated as non-polar.
But according to the tone of this question, C-H bonds are taken as polar since there is
electronegativity difference.
Conclusion:
Option '3' is correct.
3) The number and type of bonds between two carbon atoms in CaC 2 are:
(IIT JEE 1996)
1) one and one bonds
2) one and two bonds
3) one and one and half bonds
4) one bond
There is a triple bond between two carbons. Among three bonds, only one is sigma bond and the
remaining two are pi bonds.
Conclusion:
Option '2' is correct.
4) Which one of the following molecule contains both ionic and covalent bonds?
(EAMCET 2002-E)
1) CH2Cl2
2) K2SO4
3) BeCl2
4) SO2
Logic & solution:
Only in K2SO4, there are ionic as well as covalent bonds. The K + and SO42- ions are attracted by
electrostatic forces. Sulfur atom has covalent bonds in sulfate ion.
Conclusion:
Option '2' is correct.
5) Element 'X' is strongly electropositive and element 'Y' is strongly electronegative. Both
are univalent. The compound formed will be:
(IIT JEE 1980)
1) X+Y2) Y+X3) X-Y
4) XY
Logic & solution:
Strongly electropositive elements tend to lose electrons due to relatively low ionization potentials
to form cations (like X+) and strongly electronegative elements tend to gain electrons to form anions
(like Y-). Hence the bond formed between them is predominantly ionic in nature.
Conclusion:
Option '1' is correct.
6) The bond between two identical non metal atoms has a pair of electrons. The correct
statement about this pair is:
(IIT JEE 1986)
1) Unequally shared between the two.
2) Transferred fully from one atom to another
3) Has identical spins.
4) Equally shared between the atoms.
Logic & solution:
Identical atoms possess same electronegativity values and hence share the electron pair equally
by forming a non polar covalent bond.
Conclusion:
Option '4' is correct.
7) The bonds present in N2O5 are:
(IIT JEE 1986)
1) only ionic
2) covalent and coordinate
3) only covalent
4) covalent and ionic
Logic & solution:
Since nitrogen and oxygen are non metals, the bonds between them are NOT ionic.
The structure of N2O5 is given below. There are both covalent and coordinate covalent bonds.
Conclusion:
Option '2' is correct.

H3O+, NH3 and CH3- are not only isoelectronic but are also iso-structural with pyramidal shape.
However CH3+ is trigonal planar with one empty orbital perpendicular to this plane.
Conclusion:
Correct option is 'D'.
