About this document
Understanding Coordinate Bonds in Chemistry by Vipul Gupta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses coordinate (dative) bonding. It defines coordinate bonding as a type of covalent bond where two atoms share an electron pair provided entirely by one atom, called the donor atom. The donor atom has a lone pair that it donates to form the bond. The other atom, called the acceptor atom, has an empty orbital that accepts the electron pair. Ammonium ion and hydronium ion are given as examples where nitrogen and oxygen act as the donor atoms, respectively. Properties of coordinate compound
