Question

Increase in the stability of the complex due to presence of multidentate ligands (which causes ring formation) is called chelation effect.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1.

Increase in stability due to presence of multidentate ligands (which causes ring formation) is called chelation effect.

Chelates are more stable than nonchelated compounds of comparable composition and the more extensive the chelation, that is, the larger the number of ring closures to a metal atom, the more stable the compound. This phenomenonis called the chelate effect.
