ligand
It is an ion or molecule capable of donating a pair of electrons to the central atom via a donor atom
Types of Ligands. Unidentate ligands:Ligands with only one donor atom, e.g. NH3, Cl-, F- etc. Bidentate ligands: Ligandswith two donor atoms, e.g. ethylenediamine, C2O42-(oxalate ion) etc. Tridentate ligands: Ligands which have three donor atoms per ligand, e.g. (dien) diethyl triamine.

Hey mate
Here's your answer__
A ligand is an ion or molecule (functional group) that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex.
Types of Ligand :-
☆Unidentate ligands :- Ligands with only one donor atom, e.g. NH3, Cl-, F- etc.
☆Bidentate ligands :-
Ligands with two donor atoms, e.g. ethylenediamine, C2O42-(oxalate ion) etc.
☆Tridentate ligands :- Ligands which have three donor atoms per ligand, e.g. (dien) diethyl triamine.
☆Hexadentate ligands :-
Ligands which have six donor atoms per ligand, e.g. EDTA.
☆Chelating Ligands :-
Multidentate ligand simultaneously co-ordinating to a metal ion through more than one site is called chelating ligand. These ligands produce a ring like structure called chelate. Chelation increases the stability of complex. This effect is called chelation effect.
Hope it helps☺☺
