Study Notes
Ligands and Acids
- Ligands do not act like acids, they are molecules or ions that bind to metal ions, often forming complexes.
- Ligands are not always positively charged, they can be neutral or negatively charged.
Ligands and Metal Ions
- Ligands have the ability to bind to metal ions, forming complexes.
Buffer Solutions
- A buffer solution does not require a strong acid or strong alkali, it typically consists of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
- A buffer solution's key characteristic is that it resists changes in pH, maintaining a relatively constant pH despite the addition of acids or bases.
- A buffer solution can, but does not only, contain a weak acid and its conjugate base, other combinations are possible.
