A)ligand effect
B)multidentate effect

D)Lewis effect
E)isomer effect

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chelate effect refers to the increased stability of metal complexes formed by multidentate ligands (chelating agents) compared to similar monodentate ligands. This is due to the multidentate ligand binding to the metal ion at multiple points, forming a more stable complex.
