MCQ
Which of the following ligands forms a chelate
  • A
    Acetate
  • B
    Ammonia
  • C
    Cyanide
  • Oxalate

     

Answer

Correct option: D.
Oxalate

 

d
In chelation, ring formation occurs because two atoms from the same ligand coordinate with the metal atom. This cannot happen if the ligand is monodentate. Oxalate is a bidentate ligand hence it forms a chelate. It can coordinate with both of its negatively charged $O$ atoms.

Acetate, cyanide and ammonia are monodentate ligands. They do not form chelates.
