Ethylene diaminetetraacetate (EDTA) ion is
Tridentate ligand with three “N” donor atoms
Hexadentate ligand with four “O” and two “N” donor atoms
Unidentate ligand
Bidentate ligand with two “N” donor atoms
The correct answer is option (B) : Hexadentate ligand with four “O” and two “N” donor atoms
A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :
A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.
A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.
A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
