Hexadentate with four O and two N donors D. Ammonia IV. Bidentate with two N donors Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- BA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- CA-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
- DA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Correct answer
A. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Step-by-step solution
EDTA⁴⁻ is a hexadentate ligand that binds through four oxygen and two nitrogen donor atoms (A III). Oxalate ion ( C₂O₄²⁻ ) is a bidentate ligand that binds through two oxygen atoms (B I). Ethane-1,2-diamine (en) is a bidentate ligand that binds through two nitrogen atoms (C IV). Ammonia ( NH₃ ) is a unidentate ligand that binds through one nitrogen atom (D II). Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
