Types of Coordinate Bonds
Depending on the specific context and the atoms involved, these bonds can be considered either weak or strong.
- Weak Coordinate Covalent Bonds: In some cases, coordinate covalent bonds can be weaker than other covalent bonds due to the nature of the atoms involved or the bonding arrangement. For example, coordinate covalent bonds formed between non-metals or between a central electrophile and a ligand can be weaker than ionic bonds.
- Strong Coordinate Covalent Bonds: In other cases, coordinate covalent bonds can be strong and have properties similar to other covalent bonds. For instance, coordinate covalent bonds formed between transition metals or between two like atoms can be strong.
Co-ordinate Bond
Coordinate Bond is a special type of covalent bond in which both electrons or an electron pair that is shared between two atoms come from the same atom. Coordinate bonds are also called Dative Bonds or Dipolar Bonds. Coordinate bonds are commonly found in coordination compounds.
In this article, we will look into what a coordinate bond is, its characteristics, examples, and others in detail.
