Question

Edta has __________ binding sites and therefore it is also called as multidentate ligand

Answer 1

some is the answer.......

Answer 2

EDTA HAS SIX BINDING SITES AND THEREFORE IT IS ALSO CALLED MULTI-DENTATE LIGANDS.

Explanation:

• Ligands are those substances which bind to the central metal atom. They form co-ordination compounds.
• They can be positive, negative, or neutral.
• Denticity is the property of ligands which tells us about the number of donating groups in L.
• The EDTA has 2 nitrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms.
• They can share electrons to central metal atom, therefore its denticity is 6, which means 6 binding sites.
• Therefore, edta has six binding sites.
