Q. How many of the following are ambidentate ligands?
$NO _{2}^{-}, P ( Ph )_{3}, CN ^{-}, CO _{3}^{2-}, NCS ^{-}, H _{2} O , OCN ^{-}, OH ^{-}$, $NH _{3}$
[If your answer is $2$ write the answer as $0002 .$ ]

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

$NO _{2}^{-} \longleftrightarrow ONO ^{-}\,\,\, OCN ^{-} \longleftrightarrow NCO ^{-}$
$CN ^{-} \longleftrightarrow NC ^{-}\,\,\,\, NCS ^{-} \longleftrightarrow SCN ^{-}$
