Question

When $\left[Ni\right(H_{2}O{)}_6{]}^{3+}$ is mixed with ethylenediamine in excess, ethylenediamine(en) displaces $H_{2}O$ to form a chelate.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1.

When $\left[Ni\right(H_{2}O{)}_6{]}^{3+}$ is mixed with ethylenediamine in excess, ethylenediamine(en) displaces $H_{2}O$ to form a chelate. Chelates are more stable complexes.
