This would mean the formation of a sigmaσ and one or two piπ bonds, all coordinate. I haven't heard of this happening, like a fluorine anion or water with 2two lone pairs on Ooxygen will donate only one lone pair, but I wanted to know why it's not possible. Thanks.

Can H2Oany atom donate it'smore than 1 lone pairspair as a coordinate bonds atbond to the same timemetal?

This would involve H2O becoming sp2 hybridised instead and forming a coordinate pi bond with the metal. Bothmean the formation of a sigma and one or two pi bonds would be, all coordinate bonds. I haven't ever heard of coordinate bonds forming this wayhappening, like fluorine anion or water with 2 lone pairs on O will donate only one lone pair, but I still wanted to know why it's not possible. Thanks.

Can H2O donate it's lone pairs as coordinate bonds at the same time?

This would involve H2O becoming sp2 hybridised instead and forming a coordinate pi bond with the metal. Both the sigma and pi bonds would be coordinate bonds. I haven't ever heard of coordinate bonds forming this way, but I still wanted to know why it's not possible. Thanks.
