Exemplar Problems

Explain the formation of a coordinate covalent bond in a complex ion, such as the formation of the hydronium ion (H₃O⁺).
Solution :

The formation of the cyanide ion (CN⁻) involves the coordination of a lone pair of electrons from carbon (C) to the nitrogen (N) atom, creating a coordinate covalent bond. In the cyanide ion, the lone pair of electrons on carbon is used to form the CN⁻ ion.
