MCQ
In coordination chemistry, what is the chelate effect?
Chemistry
A Chelating ligands always produce colored complexes
B Complexes with chelating (multidentate) ligands are more stable than those with equivalent monodentate ligands
C Chelate rings are always five-membered
D Chelating ligands are always strong field
Explanation

Chelate complexes have greater thermodynamic stability due to favorable entropy changes when multidentate ligands replace multiple monodentate ligands.
