(a)
Interpretation:
The polydentate ligand and the maximum number of atoms that can bind simultaneously with the centre atom have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
A polydentate ligand is a ligand that coordinates to a metal center via two or more atoms, forming two or more bonds. This resulting complex is known as a chelate complex.
Example:
EDTA, a hexadentate ligand is an example of a polydentate ligand that has six donor atoms with electron pairs that can be used to bond to a central metal atom or.ion.
(b)
Interpretation:
The polydentate ligand and the maximum number of atoms that can bind simultaneously with the centre atom have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The polydentate ligand and the maximum number of atoms that can bind simultaneously with the centre atom have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:

(d)
Interpretation:
The polydentate ligand and the maximum number of atoms that can bind simultaneously with the centre atom have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
