Question

Ethylenediamine (en) (A) monodendate ligand and can occupy one position in coordination polyhedron (B) bidendate ligand and can occupy two positions in coordination polyhedron (C) polydendate ligand (D) tridendate ligand and occupy three positions in coordination polyhedron

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ethylenediamine is an organic compound with formula

C_{2} H_{4} (N H_{2})_{2}

.

H_{2} \ddot{N} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - \ddot{N} H_{2}

It act as a bidentate ligand due to the presence of lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atoms and can occupy two positions.
