Gabriella Ruiz · Answer 1

The required option is "a triple covalent bond."

Explanation:

Coordinate bonds are formed by sharing of electrons by only one of the atoms participating in the bond formation. Coordinate covalent bonds are formed in the molecules like CO in which coordinate bond is formed between carbon and oxygen as well as sharing of lone pair present on the oxygen atom. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons from both the atoms participating in the bond formation. If two atoms from the same element share three pairs of electrons each forming a bond there will be the formation of a triple covalent bond. Therefore, the bond is a triple covalent bond.
