Answer:
A dative bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where one of the atoms provides both electrons that form the bond i.e. a kind of 2-center, 2-electron bond.
An example of a dative covalent bond is provided by the interaction between a molecule of ammonia, a Lewis base with a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, and boron trifluoride, a Lewis acid by virtue of the boron atom having an incomplete octet of electrons.
