• B. A monodentate ligand cnnot caus chelation
• C. A multidentate ligand cannot cause chelation

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

A multidentate ligand cannot cause chelation

Chelation: When a di- or polydentate ligand uses its two or more donor atoms tofind to a single metal ion,it is said to be chelation.

So,the fake statement is multi-dentate ligands can not give rise to chelation is fake.
