Answer:
In a coordinate covalent bond, one element transfer the electron pair to another element to make a bond. It is represented by the ′→′ symbol. The head of the arrow represents the acceptor species and tail of the arrow represents the donor species. Example H3N:+H+→[H3N→H]+
The first thing needed for a dative bond is a lone electron pair in one atom and an empty orbital in another atom. This condition is necessary but enough. e.g.: For SO3 it would be: (6-2)/2 Which means that it has 2 co-ordinate bonds.(◠‿◕)
