Re: chelating
We know that chelation occurs within a molecule if a ligand is connected to a central metal atom at more than one point.

Re: chelating
Visually, you can tell if chelation occurs in a molecule if one of the ligands forms a ring of atoms that includes the central atom. In a Lewis structure, it would look like a ring on one of the ligands.

Re: chelating
Is chelating another name for the formation of a polydentate? Or is chelating just the occurrence of a ring made by ligands?
Is there any way to tell a coordination compound is chelating through its formula name? Or do you need to do a Lewis structure sketch?
