What is a chelating ligand?

Answer: An ion or molecule that binds to the primary metal atom to form a coordination entity or complex compounds is known as a ligand.

The ligands with multiple donor sites or many bonds that can be formed to a single metal ion called bidentate ligans.

Bidentate ligands are those that can bond with two donor atoms to produce two co-ordinate covalent bonds.

These chelate ligands are another name for these bidentate ligands.

For example, Ethylenediamine.
