Coordinate Covalent Bonding starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Coordinate Covalent Bonding.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11
Describe the formation of the hydronium ion (H3O+) in terms of coordinate covalent bonding.
Describe the role of lone pairs in the formation of coordinate covalent bonds.
Describe, with an example, how a coordinate covalent bond can be formed between a metal ion and a ligand.
Explain the difference between a covalent bond and a coordinate covalent bond.
Explain why a coordinate covalent bond is sometimes called a dative bond.
Explain why the bond between carbon and oxygen in CO is considered a coordinate covalent bond.
Explain why the bond between nitrogen and boron in the compound NH3BF3 is considered a coordinate covalent bond.
In the formation of the ammonium ion (NH4+), which atom acts as the electron pair donor?
A scientist adds excess ammonia to a solution containing Ag+ ions, resulting in the formation of [Ag(NH3)2]+. Describe the type of bonding present between silver and ammonia in this complex and explain the role of ammonia.
Consider the following reaction: BF3 + F- → BF4-. Identify the donor and acceptor in the coordinate covalent bond formed and explain your reasoning.
Describe how the concept of coordinate covalent bonding is applied in the chelation therapy used for heavy metal poisoning.
Explain, using electron dot structures, how a coordinate covalent bond is formed in the complex ion [Al(H2O)6]3+.
