Question

define a coordinate bond and give the condition for it's formation

​

Answer 1

Answer:

One of the two atoms must have at least one lone pair of electrons. The two lone pair of electrons in the oxygen atom of water is used to form coordinate bond with the hydrogen ion which is short of an electron resulting in the formation of the hydronium ion.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A coordinate covalent bond, also known as a dative bond, dipolar bond, or coordinate bond is a kind of 2-center, 2-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. The bonding of metal ions to ligands involves this kind of interaction. This type of interaction is central to Lewis theory
