Explain how a coordinate bond forms
A coordinate bond is a bond formed through the donation of a lone pair of electrons from an atom bonding to another atom which has an empty orbital.The lone pair from one atom is donated to the empty orbital of an atom, yielding the formation of a coordinate, or dative bond, which once formed is the same as a normal covalent bond as a pair of electrons are being shared between the two atoms
