Question

Select correct option for given ions. (i) Glycinate ( gly − 1 ) (ii) Acetylacetonato ( acac − ) (iii) Dipyridine (dipy) (iv) Butylenediamine (bn) (v) Ethylenediamine (en) (vi) O-phenanthroline (O-phen) (vii) Acetate ( Ac − ) (viii) EDTA 4 − (Ethylenediaminetetraacetate) (ix) Diethylene triamine (dien)

TestHub · Accepted Answer

For Statement (A): The six ligands that form a 5-membered chelate ring containing at least 2 nitrogen atoms (along with the metal) are dipy, bn, en, o-phen, EDTA⁴⁻, and dien.

For Statement (C): The seven ligands that form 5-membered rings containing exactly 2 carbon atoms in the ring backbone are gly⁻, dipy, bn, en, o-phen, EDTA⁴⁻, and dien.

In contrast, acac⁻ forms a 6-membered ring with two oxygen atoms, making statements (B) and (D) incorrect.
