Re: Just to clear it up
Yes, all ligands in coordinate compounds are lewis bases because they donate electrons. The central metal atom then is a lewis acid

Yes, all coordinate covalent bonds involve Lewis bases, but not all Lewis bases involve coordinate covalent bonds. Hope this helps!

Re: Just to clear it up
Yes, Lewis bases donate electrons (and Lewis acids accept electrons). However, Lewis bases can also form ionic bonds.

Re: Just to clear it up
Yes, that is true! Just wanted to post about this resource, Khan Academy. I'm not sure if a lot of people are familiar with it but it is a really helpful additional resource to this class, as it goes over a lot of the same concepts. It's all free btw! The course subject is AP/College Chemistry and here is the link! https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-chemistry

Re: Just to clear it up
Yes this is true as the Lewis base is the one donating electrons while the Lewis acid gains the electrons.

Re: Just to clear it up
The Lewis base donates the electrons in coordinate covalent bonds, but Lewis bases don't solely create coordinate covalent bonds.

Re: Just to clear it up
They are all lewis bases yes. But honestly it is good to double check anyways really quick just to make sure. Just know also not all lewis bases are CC bonds too!

Re: Just to clear it up
Yes! Coordinate covalent bonds are created when a lewis acid and a lewis base come together to form a bond!

Re: Just to clear it up
A bond formed between a Lewis base and a Lewis acid is a coordinate covalent bond.

Re: Just to clear it up
Yes, Lewis bases which are usually anions (who can therefore donate electrons) create coordinate covalent bonds when attached to the acid.

Yes, Lewis bases donate their electrons when forming coordinate covalent bonds.

Re: Just to clear it up
Yes, they are Lewis Bases because they are electron donors. Electron acceptors aka proton donors are the Lewis Acids

Re: Just to clear it up
Coordinate covalent bonds are bonds in which electrons are donated entirely by one of the atoms, instead of shared equally between the two

Re: Just to clear it up
I understand that Lewis Bases are recognized as the donators of the bond in the same way that Lewis Acids are the acceptors, but are there any other bond that might occur? When might a Lewis Base not be involved with a coordinate covalent bond? And can the same be asked for Lewis Acids?
