Textbook 9C.5
How can we tell if a molecule is polydentate or not, is it by the number of lone pairs on the central or binding atom?

It is by the number of lone pairs on the binding atom. If more than one binding atom has lone pairs, it is polydentate unless there are special circumstances, like for H2O.
