Question

Explain coordinate covalent bond with example

Answer 1

Explanation:

A coordinate bond (also called a dative covalent bond) is a covalent bond (a shared pair of electrons) in which both electrons come from the same atom. ... In the formation of a simple covalent bond, each atom supplies one electron to the bond - but that does not have to be the case.

Answer 2

Answer:

A coordinate covalent bond, is a type of covalent bond in which the shared pair of electrons comes from one of the atoms. The atoms are held together because both of the nuclei attract the electron pair.

For eg

Formation Of Ammonium Ion. The nitrogen atom in Ammonia donates its electron pair to the empty orbital of H+ ion thus nitrogen is donor, H+ is acceptor and a co-ordinate bond is formed
