"on" is sort of like giving to someone in the same position as you. student to another student, teacher to another teacher, etc. it also implies that the item will continue to move between people. it also includes sharing, and has a nicer edge to it.
of the person's own will.
"over" is like giving to someone who is higher than you. student to teacher, person to a police officer, or kid to a bully. this also implies that it is the only movement of the item. the teacher/police officer/bully aren't likely to give the item to anyone else.
it's also like taking from someone, possibly against the student/civilian/kid's will.
hope this helps!!

@cothireni
then "pass the salt onto me" would sound awkward (eg- when you are having dinner with your family) because there is no further movement.(you have it and it's done)
is that right?

@Peppeper no. "on" would be used, because after it's been given, it can then be given to another person.
"pass over the salt" can be used, too, but it sounds like the salt is being confiscated, rather than given.

however, now that i think about it, "on" isn't much used as "give to me" it's usually, "give to the person next to you"
i'm sorry for my confusion and misinformation.
but in the circumstance of dinner with family, neither would really be used. you'd say, "pass the salt" usually. the other phrases can be used, but not in most cases.

@cothireni thank you!! it cleared up now!
how about switching "pass" with "gand/turn" btw?
eg-
1.(turn/hand) the salt to me
2. it's time to (turn/hand) his throne over to his son.
i think "hand" works perfectly fine as replacement for pass, but not sure about "turn"

@Peppeper yeah, "hand" is good in both cases, and is the one i would choose.
when referring to giving so usually paired with "over" or "in" and is usually involved with time, or flipping things over.
"turn in" is the most similar; used when talking about giving assignments and such to teachers, but even then, "hand in" is more common.
the second one /could/ use "turn over" but i would advise against it.
