The ligand _{3} \)

The ligand \( N\left(C H_{2} C H_{2} N H_{2}\right)_{3} \)

  • A. bidentate
  • B. tridentate
  • C. tetradentate
  • D. pentadentate.

Step-by-step solution

The ligand N(CH2CH2NH2)3 has four nitrogen donor atoms (one central tertiary amine and three primary amines), allowing it to form four coordinate bonds with a metal ion, hence it is tetradentate.
