  2. [Fe(CN)6]3-
  3. [Ni(en)3]Cl2
  4. [AgCl2]-

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following complexes is an example of a bidentate ligand?
  • Step 1: Understand what a ligand is. A ligand is a molecule that can attach to a metal ion.
  • Step 2: Learn about bidentate ligands. A bidentate ligand can attach to a metal ion at two different points.
  • Step 3: Identify ethylenediamine (en). Ethylenediamine is a specific molecule that can attach to a metal ion in two places.
  • Step 4: Confirm that ethylenediamine has two nitrogen atoms that can bond with a metal ion. This means it can form two bonds.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since ethylenediamine can form two bonds, it is an example of a bidentate ligand.
