I am a little confused with this. I know what a dative bond is, but the problem is when it comes to complex ions I do not understand.
ok now for example
[tex]NH_3[/tex] + [tex]H^+[/tex] = [tex]NH_4^+[/tex]
So in this the lone pair of NH3 will fill the s- subshell of H and make it stable,
but say in [tex]Cu^2^+[/tex]
when this attracts six water molecules with six lone pairs, where do these lone pairs go? I mean what subshell does it fill?I really appreciate if you can help me with this.
Thanks alot
