Best Answer

A dehydrating agent is usually an acid which brings about loss of water molecule when used on an hydrated compound.

A chelating agent is usually an electron donour (ligand) which forms a complex by coordinating with a metal using two or more donor groups of a single ligand.

Is chelating agent negatively charged?

Not necessarily. Chelating agents can be neutral too. For example en (ethylenediamine), etc. The only condition for a ligand to be called a chelating agent is that it should coordinate with the metal in a manner so as to form a ring .

What is the difference between chelating agent and ligand?

A ligand is an ion or molecule that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding usually involves the formal donation of one or more of the ligand's electron pairs. A chelating agent is a type of ligand.
