Question: Which of the following compound has electrovalent linkage?...
Which of the following compound has electrovalent linkage?
A
CH₃Cl
B
NaCl
C
CH₃OH
D
CH₃COOH
Answer
NaCl
Explanation
Solution
An electrovalent linkage (ionic bond) is formed by the complete transfer of electrons, typically between a metal and a non-metal. NaCl (Sodium chloride) is formed between Sodium (Na), an alkali metal, and Chlorine (Cl), a non-metal (halogen). Sodium transfers an electron to chlorine, forming Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions, which are held together by electrostatic forces.
