Question
Why chelate complexes are more stable than complexes with unidentate ligands?
Advertisements
Solution
Chelate complexes are more stable than unidentate ligands because they form a ring with the central metal ion and are held together by a strong force of attraction, making them less likely to dissolve. Unidentate ligands, on the other hand, are connected to the core metal at a single location, resulting in less force of attraction and a greater likelihood of dissociation.
