Answer 1

Answer:

Chelating ligands are molecules that can form several bonds to a single metal ion, they are also called multidentate ligands. Simple (and common) examples include ethylenediamine, and oxalate. Non-chelating ligands are ligands that bond to just one site, such as chloride, cyanide and water.

Chelating ligands are molecules that can form several bonds to a single metal ion, they are also called multidentate ligands.

Simple (and common) examples include ethylenediamine, and oxalate.

Non-chelating ligands are ligands that bond to just one site, such as chloride, cyanide and water, for example.

$\tt {Importance \: of \: Chelate \: Ligands :}</p><p>$

1.) They are used in the separation of Lanthanides and Actinides.

2.) They are used in softening of hard water.

3.) They are used in qualitive analysis, for the detection of some elements.

FOR EXTRA KNOWLEDGE :

Chelate ligand on the other hand is one in which more than one atoms donate their lone pairs together to the central metal atom.

But, ambidentate ligands are MONODENTATE ligands which have more than one donating centres, but only 1 of them take place in coordination bond with the central metal atom at a time.
