Denticity Denticity is the number of atoms in a ligand that bind to a central atom in a coordination complex. H H For example, ethylene diamine (shown on the right) has two nitrogen atoms with lone pairs that can both bind to a metal. This ligand is bidentate. N: Identify the number of atoms in each ligand that can donate a lone pair. N: O monodentate O not a ligand O bidentate O bidentate O not a ligand O monodentate CH3 O bidentate O not a ligand O monodentate OH O bidentate O monodentate O not a ligand

In water, the Fe3+ ion exists as Fe(H2O)63+. Fe(H2O)63+ is a complex ion in which the ligands are water molecules. The high positive charge on the Fe3+ ion makes the coordinated water acidic, and Fe(H2O)63+ behaves as an acid, as described by the following reaction.
