it has a LONE pair of electrons that is sterically unhindered
complexing agents are ligands that are capable forming complexes with metal ions by the formation of coordinate bond

Alkali metals are poor complexing agents because they have a low charge density due to their large atomic size and low charge, making them less effective at forming stable complexes with other molecules or ions. Their tendency to lose an electron to form a stable cation also limits their ability to participate in complex formation reactions.
The common name for NH3 is ammonia. Ammonia is often used as a household cleaning agent in a solution of ammonium hydroxide.

Excess complexing agent can lead to the formation of undesired complexes, interfering with the accurate determination of the analyte's mass. It can also make it challenging to separate the analyte from the complex for weighing. Quantitative results may be affected, leading to inaccurate analysis.
Copper thiosulfate is the chemical name for Cu2S2O3. It is commonly used as a complexing agent in chemical solutions and photography.
The equivalent weight of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is 292 g/mol. It is a commonly used complexing agent in analytical chemistry for chelating metal ions.
Complexometric titrations are a type of volumetric analysis that involves the use of a complexing agent (such as EDTA) to form stable complexes with metal ions in solution. By titrating with a solution of known concentration of the complexing agent, the endpoint of the reaction can be determined based on a color change or other indicator, allowing for the quantitative determination of the metal ion concentration.
The common name for NH3 is ammonia. Ammonia is often used as a household cleaning agent in a solution of ammonium hydroxide.
The purpose is for the agent to "bind to a metal strongly enough to prevent metal hydroxide from precipitating, but weakly enough to give up the metal when EDTA is added." -Quantitative Chemical Analysis, 8th edition, Daniel C. Harris
A good reducing agent is something that can easily lend a hydrogen atom. Nitrogens Hydrogens are in a subshell that is much closer to the nucleus of the Nitrogen atom. This smaller radius results in a greater attraction between the electrons H+ and N share. Bismuth (Bi) has a much larger radius, so the forces are more diluted, and the H+ is more easily removed from the Bi. Because the Nitrogens H+ in NH3 is harder to remove it is a mild reducing agent. Bismuth has a H+ that can be removed easily so it is a stronger reducing agent.
A chelating agent (also known as a complexing or sequestering agent) is a compound that forms stable complexes with metal ions. Control of metal ion activity in aqueous systems is the main use of chelating properties so precipitation of sparingly soluble salts such as those of of calcium and magnesium with inorganic anions, fatty acids and anionic surfactants can be avoided. Typical applications are scale control and water softening.
