The question asks to identify the INCORRECT property of the EDTA⁴⁻ ligand.

 

EDTA⁴⁻ (ethylenediaminetetraacetate) is a hexadentate, anionic, and chelating ligand. It has six donor atoms: two nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms from the carboxylate groups. These six donor atoms are not all the same. Therefore, the statement "Minimum 4 donor atoms are same" is incorrect.
