Question

Give the suitable chemical term for the following statement:

A bond formed by shared pair of electrons with both electrons coming from the same atoms.

Answer 1

Coordinate bond:

1. It is formed when a lone pair of electrons is shared with the ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ ion or any hypovalent element, here both the shared electron comes from the same element.
2. It is also called a dative bond.
3. As the electrons are shared so it is a covalent coordinate bond.

So, A bond formed by shared pair of electrons with both electrons coming from the same atoms is a coordinate bond.
