explain the formation of coordinate covalent bond? How does it differ from covalent bond
Answers
Answer:
coordinate bond is formed by an atom having negative charge or having lone pair with a metal atom with vacant orbital .it differs from covalent bond because both the electrons r shared by one atom
Answer:
chemical bond is the attachment of two atoms through exchanging electrons. This can be either through sharing electrons or through complete removal of electrons. A chemical bond always has a pair of electrons that have opposite spins. This electron pair is called a bond pair. Covalent bonds and coordinate bonds are chemical bonds that are formed as a result of sharing electrons between two atoms. A covalent bond is formed when both atoms share their electrons. But a coordination bond is formed when one atom donates one of its extra electron pairs to another atom. However, after the formation of the bond, both covalent bond and the coordinate bond seems identical. The main difference between covalent and coordinate bond is that both atoms in a covalent bond contribute to the formation of bond whereas only one atom in a coordination bond contributes to the formation of the bond.
