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 basicity of EDTA?
the basicity of EDTA is 4
What is EDTA whole blood?
EDTA whole blood is whole blood that has been drawn into a tube with EDTA in it. The EDTA is added to transport samples and prevents the blood from clotting.
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 .
Why EDTA tube prevents clotting?
EDTA functions as an anticoagulant.
Is EDTA is water soluble?
Yes, EDTA is water soluble.
Is EDTA a sham?
No, EDTA is a tetradentate ligand.Some use that people are claiming for it may or may not be a sham (you'd need to give more details), but the compound itself is definitely real.
How many electrons are added to Zn plus by the coordinate- covalent bonds in the complex Zn-EDTA?
EDTA has 6 lone pairs of electrons four from oxygen atoms and two from lone pairs on nitrogen. IN complex ions all boncds are dative covalent so both electrons come from the ligand ion this case edta. so the answer is 6 electron pairs (12 electrons) are added
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.
Why EDTA is not dissolved in water?
EDTA is soluble in water.
What is the basicity of EDTA?
the basicity of EDTA is 4
What is EDTA whole blood?
EDTA whole blood is whole blood that has been drawn into a tube with EDTA in it. The EDTA is added to transport samples and prevents the blood from clotting.
How can cheating agents act as antioxidants?
A cheating agent has a crab-claw-like ligand which coordinates to the metal ion. This decreases the concentration of free transition metals in solution so there is less chance of oxidation. An example of a chelating agent is the rosemaric acid.Chelating agents (such as EDTA) chelates the divalent metal ions such as Mg2+ or Zn2+
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 .
