Re: Chelate? [ENDORSED]
The above answer is incorrect.
A chelate is any compound that can form more than one bond to the same transition metal cation.
This is only possible for a compound (one ligand) that has one or more lone pairs on different atoms.
Make sure to discuss this in Discussion Section, or Review Sessions, Step-Up Sessions, Workshops, Drop-In Sessions, Office Hours, student study groups, etc.
