The compound containing a coordinate covalent bond is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The compound containing a coordinate covalent bond is:
A. CH₄
B. H₂O
C. NH₄⁺
D. NaCl
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) is formed when NH₃ donates its lone pair to H⁺, forming a coordinate (dative) bond. CH₄ and H₂O have ordinary covalent bonds; NaCl is ionic. In NH₄⁺, all four N–H bonds become equivalent.

Question #1
Assertion (A): A reaction between an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction. Reason (R): Neutralization always produces a neutral solution with pH exactly 7.
A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
B. A is false, but R is true
C. A is true, but R is false
D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Neutralization is the reaction of an acid with a base to produce salt and water. However, the resulting solution is not always neutral (pH 7) because the salt may undergo hydrolysis. If the acid is strong and base weak (e.g., HCl + NH₄OH), the salt (NH₄Cl) is acidic, pH < 7. If acid is weak and base strong (CH₃COOH + NaOH), salt is basic, pH > 7. Only strong acid-strong base gives pH 7.
