Covalent bonding involves two or more atoms sharing electrons. Coordinate covalent bonding is just an attraction that molecules have for other molecules based on the asymmetrical distribution of electrons in those molecules, creating negatively charged and positively charged regions (and hence, an attraction between the negatively charged regions of one molecule and the positively charged regions of another molecule).

Once formed how are coordinate covalent bonds different from covalent bonds?

the co-ordinate co-valent bond is different in that the bonding pair comes from only one of the atoms called the donor atom. The other atom, the acceptor atom, simply accepts the sharing responsibilities. An example of such a bond is as follows: NH3 + H+ ------> NH3--->H+


What are types of chemical bond?

Basically there are two types of chemical bonding- Ionic bonding and covalent bonding, their sub classes include coordinate covalent bonding , metallic bonding and secondary type of bonding includes Hydrogen bonding , Vander waal's bonding, Dipole-Dipole interaction and London's dispersion effect.


How can you figure out if a bond is ionic or covalent?

The difference in electronegativity between the atoms that are bonded. A difference of more than about 1.7 indicates that the bond will be ionic. Health warning - this is only a rule of thumb.


Is it true that A bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons is called a polyatomic covalent bond?

No, a bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons is called a coordinate covalent bond, not a polyatomic covalent bond. A polyatomic molecule refers to a molecule that consists of more than two atoms bonded together.


What are the types of chemical combination?

The types of chemical combinations are as follows: 1. Electrovalent (or ionic) combination 2. Covalent combination, which is classified into (a) Ordinary covalent combination, (b) Coordinate covalent combination

Why is the bonding in O2 molecules called pure covalent?

because there is no electronegativity difference between the two oxygen atoms.
