Coordinate Bond

Description:

A coordinate bond, also known as a dative covalent bond, is a type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons, but the pair of electrons is provided by one atom only. In this bond, the atom donating the electron pair is called the donor, while the atom accepting the electron pair is referred to as the acceptor.

Sample Sentences:
