The bonds present in \) are:
The bonds present in \( \left(N_{2} O_{5}\right) \) are:
- A. only ionic
- B. covalent
- C. dative
- D. both ionic and covalent
Step-by-step solution
N2O5 is a molecular compound consisting of nitrogen and oxygen atoms. The bonds between these nonmetals are covalent in nature. While there are different types of covalent bonds (including dative), the overall bond type is covalent, not ionic. Option B correctly identifies this.
