Which of the following is a bidentate ligand? (2020) 2020
  • 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 EDTA. EDTA is a molecule that has multiple sites where it can bond with a metal ion.
  • Step 4: Confirm that EDTA can form two bonds with a metal ion. This means it can attach at two sites.
  • Step 5: Conclude that EDTA is a bidentate ligand because it can bond at two points.
