| Answer» A coordinate 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. In the formation of a simple covalent bond, each atom supplies one electron to the bond - but that does not have to be the case. The molecule is exactly same, structure wise. Coordinate bond is essentially a type of covalent bond. One way to figure out if a molecule has a coordinate bond is to make a Lewis Dot Structure and then check whether or not a normal covalent bond can be formed. If not, the molecule is likely to have a coordinate bond. | |
