What is coordinate bond |
|
Answer» ent bond is FORMED by two atoms sharing a pair of electrons. The atoms are HELD together because the ELECTRON pair is attracted by both of the nuclei.In the formation of a SIMPLE covalent bond, each atom SUPPLIES one electron to the bond - but that doesn't have to be the case. A co-ordinate bond (also called a dative covalent bond) is a covalent bond (a shared pair of electrons) in which both electrons come from the same atom. |
