Solution
The correct option is C STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
Option (C) is correct.
Denticity refers to the number of donor groups in a single ligand that bind to a central atom in a coordination complex.There can be more than one donor atom in a ligand. The number of coordinating or ligating groups present in a ligand are called the denticity of ligand.Denticity is the number of atoms in a single ligand that bind to a central atom in a coordination complex.In many cases, only one atom in the ligand binds to the metal, so the denticity equals one, and the ligand is said to be monodentate (sometimes called unidentate).Ligands with more than one bonded atom are called polydentate or multidentate.
