Re: Chelates
Chelating ligands can bind cations tightly because they can bind in multiple locations instead of just one. The multiple binding sites hold the cation more tightly.

The bonds from chelates are also usually in a ring structure and surrounding the ligand. This goes along with the fact that bonds with chelates are stronger.
