question 17.33 (sixth edition)
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2018 4:06 pm
This questions asks us whether a ligand can be polydentate.
The molecule for part a is HN(CH2CH2NH2)2. While I understand that it would be a tridentate ligand because there are three nitrogen atoms each with lone pairs, are we able to assume this will always be true for nitrogen atoms? Should we be expected to draw lewis structures if given a molecule like this?
