In the question, 5 statements are given.
00:05
The statement that is not true has to be found out.
00:10
Statement a says that a monodendid ligand binds to a metal atom through only one atom.
00:18
Ligants are characterized as monodendate, bidentate, tridentate etc.
00:24
A monodendid ligand is the one that donate a single pair of electrons to a metal atom, so it has only one donor atom that is used to bond to the central metal atom hence statement a is a true statement statement b says that a metal is multi -dendate if it can bind to more than one ligand as previously discussed ligands are characterized as monodendid, bidentate, tridentet etc a metal is not multi -dendate instead a ligand is a multi -dendid if it dons more than one electron pair.
01:03
Therefore, statement b is not true.
01:10
Statement c says that metal ions are lewis acids.
01:17
Lewis acids accepts electron pair.
01:29
Metals have empty orbitals so they can act as lewis acids.
01:35
Therefore, statement c is true...
