Answer:

both bonding electrons come from the oxygen atom

Explanation:

A coordinate covalent bond is said to be formed when an electron pair is donated into a empty orbital of an atom from a filled orbital of another atom.

In this type of covalent bond, the shared electron pair is furnished by only one of the bonding species.

The bonding between H^+ and H2O to form H3O^+ involves donation of a lone pair of electrons on oxygen into the empty 1s orbital of  H^+ hence the two bonding electrons come from oxygen. This is why the bond is called a coordinate covalent bond.

in chlorine gas, two chlorine atoms join to form a Cl2 (chlorine 2) molecule. How many pairs of valence electrons do the atoms s
vladimir2022 [97]
Since each Chlorine molecule is -1 and wants to gain an electron, 2 Chlorine atoms like to come together to form Cl2 by sharing 2 electrons each to form a single bond between the 2 atoms. Since both Chlornine has the same electronegativity, the bond is non-polar covalent since there electrons are evenly shared.
