Question

What do you mean by monodentate ligands and bidentate ligands and give examples of each.​

Answer 1

Answer:

you know Monodentate means

Answer 2

Monodentate and bidentate ions

Explanation:

• An ion or molecule, forms a coordination complex by donating a pair of electrons to the central metal atom or ion .

• Monodentate ions or molecules bind through only one donor atom. Monodentate implies one-toothed. Few examples include halides, phosphines, ammonia and amines.
• Bidentate ions or molecules on the other hand use 2 donor sites to bind. Bidentate means two-toothed. Ethylenediamine is an example of bidentate one wherein the molecule can bind to a metal with the help of two donor atoms at a time.
