coordinate bond
« on: March 24, 2014, 02:23:50 PM »
I read for behaving as an acceptor species, the element must have vacant orbital in order to accept lone pair of electron.
I am  confused as O in SO3, O3 etc accepts it, how is it?

You didn't really ask a question...
And you didn't write anything about coordinate bonds.

Although oxygen has no vacant orbital, how can it accept lone pair of electrons to form a coordinate bond?

Oxigen forms coordination bond by donating its electron pair. It can olso accept electrons into its antibonding orbitals get reduced forms of oxygen - ie. superoxide O2- or peroxide O22-
