A ligand that forms multiple bonds with other ligands

A ligand that can only bond to the central atom once

A ligand that donates electrons to the surrounding ligands

A ligand that bonds to the central atom through several of its atoms (correct)

They are only found in compounds containing transition metals

They consist of a central atom or ion and surrounding ligands (correct)

The ligands in a complex can only have one bond to the central atom

The donor atom in a complex is always the central metal atom or ion

Based on the number of bonds between ligands and the central atom

Only through the type of ligands present

In many ways, sometimes confusingly (correct)

By the type of central atom or ion present
