Q. The stabilisation of coordination compounds due to chelation is called the chelate effect. Which of the following is the most stable complex species?

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

$C_{2}O^{2-}_{4}$ (oxalate) is didentate ligand and forms chelate complexes which are more stable than similar complexes containing unidentate ligands.
