4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a monodentate ligand? Provide an example.
Think of ligands with a single lone pair.
Name a bidentate ligand and describe its donor atoms.
Look for ligands with two points of attachment.
Which type of ligand donates multiple pairs of electrons?
Think about the word 'poly' meaning many.
True or False: Bidentate ligands can bond through multiple donor atoms.
Recall the definition of bidentate ligands.
Describe the structural differences between complexes formed by monodentate versus polydentate ligands and explain the implications for stability.
Consider how many points of contact each type provides.
Interpret the potential reactivity variations between two complexes formed from the same metal but different types of ligands: one with an ambidentate ligand and the other with a bidentate ligand.
Examine how attachment can impact the pathway of reactions.
