Question

Which of the following is common donor atom
in ligands?
(a) Arsenic (b) Nitrogen
(c) Oxygen (d) Both 'b' and 'c'

Answer 1

Answer:

(d) both 'b' and 'c' is the answer

Answer 2

(d) Both 'b' and 'c'

Explanation:

A lig-and is an ion or molecule that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding with the metal generally involves formal donation of one or more of the lig-and's electron pairs.

Both Nitrogen and Oxygen are common donor atoms in lig-ands. So Option D is the answer.
