Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1 of 3

Ligands o Monodentate  Only coordinates to the metal at one spot on molecule o Bidentate & Polydentate  Can coordinate to the metal at multiple spots  Typically larger molecules  i.e. Ethylenediamine (en) below  Formation Constants o Complex with larger formation constant forms more favorably o...
