### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Define Unidentate Ligands** Unidentate ligands are ligands that can form only one coordinate bond with a metal ion. This means they have only one donor atom that can donate a lone pair of electrons to the metal. **Examples of Unidentate Ligands:** 1. **Ammonia (NH₃)**: It has one lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, allowing it to form one coordinate bond with a metal ion. 2. **Chloride Ion (Cl⁻)**: It has one lone pair of electrons and can donate it to form a single coordinate bond with a metal ion. ...
