Hi!
Is there an efficient way to determine if a coordination compound is a chelating compound based on its molecular formula?

Re: Chelating compound or not
Yes- although it’s not super efficient. You can sketch out a structure, and the presence of more than one lone pair means it can form multiple bonds, meaning it is a chelating compound.
