Question 78

Which of the following compounds contain(s) no covalent bond(s)<br>$$\text{KCl}$$, $$\text{PH}_3$$, $$\text{O}_2$$, $$\text{B}_2\text{H}_6$$, $$\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$$

Solution

KCl is purely ionic, formed by transfer of an electron from K to Cl. $$\text{PH}_3$$, $$\text{O}_2$$, $$\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$$ and $$\text{B}_2\text{H}_6$$ (with its B-H and three-centre bonds) all contain covalent bonds. So only KCl has no covalent bond.
