complexation or chelation reaction
Magnesium and EDTA react very quickly through a highly energized ionization reaction in which the EDTA can lose up to 4 hydrogens. The powerful ionization drives the reaction to completion. You can titrate the magnesium and calculate the point of reaction to better understand the mechanism
it is organic
Ca-EDTA is more stable.. its stability constant is above 10 wheras Mg's is below 9, as to why this is I dont know
The bonding in calcium fluoride (not "flouride") is ionic, not covalent.
EDTA removes the ions that lactase needs to function as an enzyme. If enough EDTA is added, lactase will no longer have any of it's ion cofactors to aid in the break down of lactose.

calcium bind with the EDTA to prevent the blood from clotting
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a chelating agent and can bind calcium. Exploitation of this property will enable removal of calcium from the body. Of course safety is paramount, and EDTA should not cause adverse health effects.
it is organic
EDTA is ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; the chemical formula is C10H16N2O8.EDTA can react with calcium and magnesium ions forming insoluble precipitates.
The conditional constant= 1.8*1010
if edta is fresh reaction will preceed faster other wise it will take time
It prevents coagulation by binding calcium ions.

A useful indicator for calcium titrations with EDTA in the presence of magnesium.
It Inhibits the PCR reaction by chelating the magnesium ions.
