Polydentate Ligands

[Peter Nguyen 2I]

How can we tell if a ligand is polydentante?

[Maya_Peterson1C]

A polydentate ligand has multiple binding sites that donate multiple electron pairs. You can look for and count the two dots denoting lone pairs as a sign.

[Rami_Z_AbuQubo_2K]

Polydentate ligands are ligands that have multiple areas where they can bond. However, ligands that only have one binding site, like NH³ would be monodentate.
