C covalent and ionic bonding only
D covalent, dative covalent and ionic bonding
Q2. An electrophile

C always has a positive charge D donates a pair of electrons
Q3. Metallic bonding is the strong electrostatic attraction between
A anions and cations B atoms and delocalised electrons
C ions and delocalised electrons D two nuclei and a shared pair of electrons
Q4. Members of the homologous series of alkanes have the same
