A covalent bond is characterized by the sharing of electrons between two atoms. Sometimes this sharing is unequal, and the bond is said to be polar. Water is one example of this unequal sharing.

When H forms a bond with H2O to form the hydronium ion H3O this bond is called a coordinate covalent bond because .?

The bond that forms between H and H2O to create the hydronium ion (H3O+) is called a coordinate covalent bond because one atom, in this case, the oxygen atom of water, donates both electrons to form the bond with the hydrogen ion (H+). In a typical covalent bond, each atom contributes one electron, but here, the hydrogen ion does not provide any electrons, as it is a proton. This unique sharing of electron pairs characterizes the coordinate covalent bond.
