Chelated minerals are specially formulated mineral supplements designed to improve absorption of these essential nutrients into the body. What makes a mineral a chelated compound is the bonding of the mineral to nitrogen and the ligand that surrounds the

How come chelation is related with entropy 'gain'?

Not chelation, but chelate effect can be explained predominantly with entropy factor. Chelate effect describes about enhanced affinity of chelating ligands for a metal ion in comparison to the affinity of a collection of similar non chelating (monodentate) ligands for the same metal. So, when we compare the 2 cases we observe that the entropy factor favours the chelate formation because the reactants were lesser (because of polydenticity). I hope you got your answer.
