What do you understand by co-ordinate covalent bond? Give one example.
Answers
For example - HCl
Hey brainly user
Here is your answer
CO ordinate covalent bond :
» It is a special type of covalent bond in this bond an electron pair is shared by the two atoms but the shared electron pair is contributed by only one of the two atoms
»After sharing it becomes common property of both the atoms
»The atom which contributes the electron pair is called donor and the atom which accepts the electron pair for sharing is called acceptor
» The donar atom must have one or two lone pairs of electrons while the acceptor atom is short of two electrons to get it's octet
» It is represented by an arrow mark from donor to acceptor
eg: Formation of the ammonia ion
» In NH3 nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons and H+ has vacant orbital. So NH3 donates lone pair of electrons to H+ ion and forms NH4+ ion
Properties :
These compounds dissolves in non polar solvents like benzene CCl4
These compounds do not conduct electricity
