I received a question that asked: when one atom donates both electrons, what type of bond is formed?
Both Ionic and Coordinate Covalent bonds were in the answer choice.
I was under the impression that ionic bonds were the complete transfer of valence electrons - now that I look into it coordinate covalent bonds are when both electrons come from one atom. So in this case how would I have picked between the too?
Can ionic bonds not donate both electrons?
