• A. ${NH}_3$
• B. ${CO}_2$
• C. $NaCl$
• D. $P{Cl}_5$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Dative bond is present in the $PC{l}_5$ molecule.
In the solid state, $PC{l}_5$ molecule exists in the form of $[PC{l}_4{]}^{+}$ $[PC{l}_6{]}^{-}$
Dative bond is present in $[PC{l}_6{]}^{-}$ ion. The chloride ion is the donor atom and $P$ atom is acceptor atom. The dative bond is also called co-ordinate covalent bond.
