### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ligands and Dinticity**: - Ligands are ions or molecules that can donate a pair of electrons to a metal ion to form a coordination complex. The term "dinticity" refers to the number of sigma bonds formed between the ligand and the metal ion. 2. **Unidentate Ligands**: - Unidentate ligands are those that can form only one sigma bond with the metal ion. This means they have a single donor atom that coordinates with the metal. - **Examples**: ...
