Answer

  • The correct option is D.
  • Cr2O7^2-

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The covalent bond between the two atoms formed when mutual sharing of electrons take place.
  • As in dichromate ion, covalent bond is present which shows sharing of electrons between two atoms Cr and O.
  • KCl is ionic bond, in this case, K completely donate electrons while Cl completely accept the electrons. So we can not say sharing of electrons.
  • Ar and Au are present in free form, not forming bond with others atoms, so we cant say any sharing of electrons.
