Bis (ethylene diamine) zinc(ll) ion is more stable than tetra ammine zinc(ll) ion because of the effect of chelation in bis (ethylene diamine) zinc(ll) ion.
- Chelation is the formation of ring like structures when donors with denticity more than one bind to the metal ion.
- The formation of ring like structures provide extra stability to the ions.
- Ethylene diamine is a chelating donor while ammonia is not so, bis (ethylene diamine) zinc(ll) ion is more stable than tetra ammine zinc(ll) ion.
