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.
