Question

Explain why ammonia can participate in dative bond

Answer 1

Answer:

when the ammonium ion(NH4+) is formed ,the fourth hydrogen is attached by a dative covelant bond, because only the hydrogen neuleus if transferred from the chlorine to the nitrogen. the hydrogen electron is left behind on the chlorine to form a negative chloride ion

hope this will help u.

mark me as a brainlist plzz

Answer 2

Answer:

A dative covalent or coordinate bond is formed when one atom supplies both electrons in the formation of a two-electron bond.

Explanation:

• In the case of ammonia, the nitrogen atom has a single pair of electrons that coordinate with the zero-electrons hydrogen cation, forming a covalent bond.

• The resulting bond is identical to the other three nitrogen-hydrogen bonds. This is critical.

• The difference between simple and dative covalent bonds is in how they are formed, but they are the same bond once formed.
