Learn what is a co-ordinate/dative covalent bond and when does such a bonding occur. #chemistry #bonding #alevel
A coordinate or dative bond is basically when an atom donates a pair of electrons to another atom, hence forming a joined covalent molecule. In order for a pair of electrons to be donated successfully, one of the atoms must have a lone pair of electrons while the other atom must have a vacant, low-lying orbital to accept the lone pair of electrons.
