Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following elements can form a coordinate covalent bond?
  • Step 1: Understand what a coordinate covalent bond is. It is a type of bond where one atom donates both electrons to form a bond with another atom.
  • Step 2: Identify elements that can donate a lone pair of electrons. Look for elements that have lone pairs in their outer shell.
  • Step 3: Recognize that oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons. This means it can donate one of these pairs to form a bond.
  • Step 4: Recall examples of oxygen forming coordinate covalent bonds, such as in water (H2O) and hydronium ion (H3O+).
  • Step 5: Conclude that oxygen is an element that can form a coordinate covalent bond.
