The molecule of sulphuric acid containsA. ions, covalent, and coordinate bondsB. ionic and covalent bondsC. covalent and coordinate bondsD. only covalent bonds

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The most likely Lewis structure of `H_2SO_4` is
`H-overset(..)underset(..)O-overset( :O: )overset(||)underset( :O: )underset(||)S-overset(..)underset(..)O-H`
It consists of only covalent bonds. Some textbooks describe the less plausible Lewis structure
`H-overset(..)underset(..)O-overset( :O: )overset(uarr)underset( :O: )underset(darr)S-overset(..)underset(..)O-H`
which contains both covalent and coordinate bonds.
