A "ligand" is a word for a group of atoms stuck on a central point (atom) in a molecule (a chiral centre).
An "enantiomer" is a molecule that exhibits stereo isomerism (mirror image symmetry) because of the presence of one or more chiral centres
Thus a enantiotopic ligand is a ligand whose replacement or addition gives rise to enantiomers.

What is inner sphere mechanism?
such a mechanism in which a ligand can be transfers from one co-ordination sphere to other through a bridging ligand . a oxidant compound have such type of ligand .
Is EDTA hexadentate ligand or tetradentate?
It is hexadentate strong field ligand a polydentate ligand is also known as chelating agent because it forms chelate like structure around the central metallic ion.
Is cyanide in an ambident ligand?
no
Is H2O a ligand?
Yes.
Is NH3 a ligand?
Yes
What is meant by enantiotopic protons?
Enantiotopic Protons appear to be equivalent when replaced by a Deuterium and give one signal on NMR. However, they can be made nonequivalent when in a chiral environment (aka a "chiral resolving reagent").
What is ligand-dependent?
Requiring a ligand to serve its function
Amino acid like L-arginine is a bidentate ligand or tridentate ligand?
L-arginine is a bidentate ligand
What kind of ligand is oxalic acid?
generally a bidentate, dianionic ligand
Is sulphate a ligand in chemistry?
yes , it is a flexidentate ligand its denticity can be one or two
What type of ligand is nitrogen dioxide?
It is not a ligand because does not have a lone pair of electrons but nitrite NO2-1 is a strong basic or strong field ligand.
What is inner sphere mechanism?
such a mechanism in which a ligand can be transfers from one co-ordination sphere to other through a bridging ligand . a oxidant compound have such type of ligand .
What is a backbonding ligand?
A backbonding ligand is a ligand - an ion, molecule or functional group bound to another chemical entity - which has two or more bonds to the same metal centre.
Is EDTA hexadentate ligand or tetradentate?
It is hexadentate strong field ligand a polydentate ligand is also known as chelating agent because it forms chelate like structure around the central metallic ion.
What is the symbol for Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated in NASDAQ?
The symbol for Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated in NASDAQ is: LGND.
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.
