Question

what type of bonding is present in c₁₂h₂₂o₁₁? answer: a covalent bonds only b ionic bonds only c both covalent and ionic bonds d neither covalent nor ionic bonds

Explanation:

Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between atoms (usually between a metal and a non - metal). In \(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\) (sucrose), all the elements \(C\), \(H\), and \(O\) are non - metals. Non - metals share electrons to form covalent bonds. There are no metals present to form ionic bonds.

Answer:

A. covalent bonds only
