Assertion: A chelating ligand must possess two or more lone pairs at such a distance that it may form suitable strain free 5 and 6 membered rings with the metal ion. |
Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion. Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion. Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement. Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement. |
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement. |
H2N−NH2 does not act as a chelating ligand. The coordinates by hydrazine lead to a three-member highly unstable strained ring and thus it does not act as a chelating agent.
A chelating ligand must possess two or more lone pairs at such a distance that it may form suitable strain-free rings at the metal ion. |
