A dative bond is formed when the pair of electrons forming the bond are donated by one atom only. This contrasts with the usual covalent bond by each atom of the bond contributing one electron.

Answer:
A coordinate covalent bond (dative bond) is formed when both electrons forming the bonding pair of electrons are provided by the same atom. An atom with a lone pair of electrons (non-bonding pair of electrons) is capable of forming a coordinate covalent bond (dative bond).
