Ligands
Are ligands usually bases because they donate electrons to form covalent bond with the central atom?

Re: Ligands
Since ligands are ions/neutral molecules that bond to the central metal atom, they have at least one donor atom (that has a lone pair) that can be used to form covalent bonds with the central atom. Since they "donate" their electrons to the central atom, they act as Lewis bases.
