How many ligands are ambidentate among given?
CN⁻, H₂O, NH₃, NO₂⁻, -SCN, C₂H₅⁻, NO₃⁻, NH₂⁻, C₂O₄²⁻
Answer:
3
Solution:
An ambidentate ligand can bind through two different atoms. From the given list:
1. CN⁻ (cyanide) can bind via C or N.
2. NO₂⁻ (nitrite) can bind via N or O.
3. SCN⁻ (thiocyanate) can bind via S or N.
H₂O, NH₃, C₂H₅⁻, NO₃⁻, NH₂⁻, C₂O₄²⁻ are not ambidentate.
Thus, there are 3 ambidentate ligands.
