MCQs on Coordinate or Dative Bonding

A bond formed by sharing a pair of electrons provided, both electrons are by one of the two bonded atoms is called a dative bond or a coordinate covalent bond. The atom providing two electrons to form a dative bond is called a donor and the atom sharing the pair of electrons from a donor is known as an acceptor. A dative bond may be represented with an arrow from the donor to the acceptor as A–> B with a positive charge on the donor and negative charge on the acceptor. The donor should have at least one lone pair of electrons and acceptor should have a vacant orbital. Coordinate covalent compounds are nonelectrolytes that do not conduct electricity because they do not ionise in water.
