Question

Stability of a complex with multidentate ligand is increased due to chelation. If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

Stability of a complex with multidentate ligand is increased due to chelation. The effect is called chelating effect or macro-cyclic effect. For example, $\left[Ni\right(en{)}_3{]}^{2+}$ is ${10}^{10}$ times more stable than $\left[Ni\right(N{H}_3{)}_6{]}^{2+}$.
