In non-coordinate covalent bonds each atom donates one electron to the bond. Examples of coordinate covalent bonds are lewis acid-base pairs. :thumbup: dat_student 06-24-2005, 06:14 PM In coordinate covalent bonds one atom donates both electrons.

Coordinate covalent bonds are covalent . Ionic bonds are bonds brought about by opposing charges, and they do not share any electrons. |
