A dative bond is a 2-center, 2-electron covalent bondin which both electrons come from the same atom. Adative bond is
also called a coordinate covalent bondor a coordinate bond. Dative bonds are common when metal ions bind to ligands.

CO, SO2, SO3, H3O,
bond polarity is the separation of electric charge along a bond, leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an
electric dipole or dipole moment. Electrons are not always shared equally between twobonding atoms.
To determine the polarity of a covalent bond using numerical means, find the difference between the electronegativity of
the atoms; if the result is between 0.4 and 1.7, then, generally, the bond is polar covalent.
The asymmetrical charge distribution in a polar
substance produces dipole moment
bond polarity: H–O > N–F > N–H > N–O
difference in electronegativity values: (1.2 )(1.0)( 0.8)(
0.4)
Non polar:
H2, Cl2, 02, CH4, CCl4, CO2
POLAR MOLECULES:
NH3, H20, CH3Cl, SO2
electron domain: refers to the number of lone pairs or bond locations around a particular atom in a molecule
