Question

What is the chelate effect?

A) The reaction of en or dien with the hexaaquaniclel (II) cation as results in replacement of the water molecules with the nitrogen-based ligands.
B) The name of experiment 23
C) The phenomenon of greater equilibrium constants for the reaction of chelating ligands versus non-chelating ligands.

Answer 1

Answer:

The phenomenon of greater equilibrium constants for the reaction of chelating ligands versus non-chelating ligands.

Explanation:

The chelate effect is defined as  the augmented affinity of chelating ligands for any mettalic ion in comparison of the affinity of a similar nonchelating ligands for the same metallic ion.
