Q
Q: Which of the following ligands is considered a bidentate ligand according to Werner's theory?
Solution:
EDTA is a bidentate ligand because it can form two bonds with a metal ion, while NH3, Cl-, and H2O are monodentate ligands.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a ligand is. A ligand is a molecule that can bond to a metal ion.
Step 2: Learn about bidentate ligands. Bidentate ligands can attach to a metal ion at two different points.
Step 3: Identify the ligands in the question: EDTA, NH3, Cl-, and H2O.
Step 4: Determine the bonding capabilities of each ligand. NH3, Cl-, and H2O can only bond at one point, making them monodentate ligands.
Step 5: Recognize that EDTA can bond at two points, which makes it a bidentate ligand.
Step 6: Conclude that according to Werner's theory, EDTA is the bidentate ligand among the options given.
