Concept explainers
Interpretation: The Lewis diagrams for each of the given ligand is to be drawn and the lone pair(s) that are donated to the metal are to be indicated. The given ligand is to be identified as a monodentate, bidentate or polydentate.
Concept Introduction: Ligands are species that carry a negative charge or bear a lone pair of electrons that they can donate to a metal cation or a positive center to form a bond with them. They can be classified as monodentate or bidentate ligand based on the number of bond that they can form by donating electron pairs.
