Question
What is meant by chelate effect?

Answer

When a bidentate or polydentate ligand is bonded through two or more donor sites to a metal ion and forms a ring structure then it is said to be chelating ligand. Chelating ligands form more stable complexes than monodentate analogs. This is called chelating effect.
