Polydentates
Can someone clarify how to tell if something is a polydentate, as well as what exactly a polydentate is? What does it mean when a ligand can bond multiple times?

Re: Polydentates
Denticity indicates how many atoms in a ligand are bound to the metal. If a ligand is polydentate, this means that two or more of the ligand's atom are bound to the metal ion in the complex. Hope this helps!
