Question

The donor atoms in ethylenediamine

Answer 1

Answer:

The donor atoms in ethylenediamine are N

Explanation:

Hence the donor atoms are N atoms.

Answer 2

The donor atoms in ethylenediamine are N.

• Ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligands as it can connect to the central metal atom of a complex through two donor atoms and form a bidentate complex.
• The chemical formula of ethylenediamine is $NH_2-CH_2-CH_2-NH_2$.
• It can connect to the central metal atom through two donor N atoms and act as a bidentate ligands.
• Hence the donor atom is N.
