Verified by Experts

Ambidentate Ligands : Some unidentate ligands have more than one donor atom and these may co-ordinate to the metal ion through either of the two atoms these types of ligands are called ambidentate ligands.
Exapme: `M larr NO_2` Nitro group
(N is the donor atom)
`M larr ONO` Nitro group
(O is the donor group)
