Question

what is the difference between covalent bonds and coordinate bonds​

Answer 1

Answer:

In a covalent bond, both atoms are contributing same number of electrons to the bond, but in a coordinate covalent bond, two electrons are donated by a single atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

Difference between coordinate covalent and covalent bond-

Difference is in how the ‘normal’ covalent bond (i.e. where the atoms with relatively small electronegativity differences contribute at least one electron each to a shared pair of electrons in the bond) and the coordinate or dative covalent bond are formed. Its important to note that once formed, the coordinate bond is just like your ‘normal’ covalent bond. At the atomic scale, the ‘condition’ to be satisfied for the formation of the ‘normal’ covalent bond is that each of the atoms should have at least one unpaired electron in an orbital in an outermost sub-shell. Orbital overlap results in the formation of the bond. For the coordinate covalent bond, one of the atoms has to have a vacant orbital in an outermost sub-shell and the other has to have a lone pair of electrons i.e. lewis acid and a lewis base respectively. Again you will notice that once formed it a pair of electrons being shared between two atoms, much like the normal covalent bond.
