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
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
What is a bisligand?
A bisligand is a bidentate ligand - an ion, molecule or functional group which binds to another chemical entity to form a larger complex.
Dmg is tri or bidentate ligand?
it is a bi dentate ligand although it is an unsymmetrical ligand but its square planar complex can not show geometrical isomerism becoz of intra molecular H - bonding See also the structure of [Ni(dmg)2] i.e nickel dmg complex
Why water is monodentate For a ligand to be monodentate it must have ONE lone pair of electrons Water has two yet is not bidentate Why is this?
there are two lone pairs on the oxygen of water but because of the orbital geometry, only one lone pair can have the correct orientation to make a bond and the other lone pair pointing away from the central atom, therefor water is monodentate not bidentate. and for bidentate ligands require distint lone pairs on distinct atoms.

Is legand EDTA is bidentate?
yes
What is ligand-dependent?
Requiring a ligand to serve its function
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.
