Coordination Compounds Quiz

The atom/ion to which a fixed number of ions/groups are bound in a definite geometrical arrangement around it.

Ligands are the neutral or negative ions bound to the central metal or ion that donate a pair/s of electrons to it.

Monodentate/Unidentate, Didentate, and Polydentate ligands.

<p>Chelating ligands are di- or polydentate ligands that use two or more donor atoms to bind to a single metal ion, forming ring-like complexes.</p> Signup and view all the answers
