A. Electrovalent

B. Metallic

C. Covalent

D. Dative

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
12.

Hardness of water is mainly due to the presence of

A. calcium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide

B. calcium trioxocarbonate (IV) or calcium tetraoxosulphate (VI)

C. sodium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide

D. calcium chloride or sodium chloride salts

Detailed Solution

Salts of Calcium and Magnesium are responsible for hardness of water. Bicarbonates, Carbonates, Chlorides and Sulfates of Calcium and Magnesium causes temporary and permanent hardness.
