The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the number of donor sites in dimethylglyoxime, glycinato, diethylene triamine, and EDTA, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Dimethylglyoxime (DMG) 1. **Structure**: Dimethylglyoxime has two nitrogen atoms that can donate lone pairs and one negatively charged oxygen that can also act as a donor. 2. **Donor Sites**: - The two nitrogen atoms each contribute one donor site. - The negatively charged oxygen can also donate a lone pair. 3. **Total Donor Sites**: Therefore, the total number of donor sites in dimethylglyoxime is **2**. ### Step 2: Glycinato 1. **Structure**: Glycinato has one nitrogen atom and one negatively charged oxygen atom that can act as donor sites. 2. **Donor Sites**: - The nitrogen atom contributes one donor site. - The negatively charged oxygen contributes another donor site. 3. **Total Donor Sites**: Thus, the total number of donor sites in glycinato is **2**. ### Step 3: Diethylene Triamine 1. **Structure**: Diethylene triamine consists of two nitrogen atoms at the ends and one nitrogen atom in the middle, along with ethylene groups. 2. **Donor Sites**: - Each of the three nitrogen atoms can donate a lone pair. 3. **Total Donor Sites**: Therefore, the total number of donor sites in diethylene triamine is **3**. ### Step 4: EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) 1. **Structure**: EDTA has four carboxylate groups (which can donate) and two nitrogen atoms. 2. **Donor Sites**: - Each of the four carboxylate groups contributes one donor site. - Each of the two nitrogen atoms contributes one donor site. 3. **Total Donor Sites**: Hence, the total number of donor sites in EDTA is **6**. ### Summary of Donor Sites - Dimethylglyoxime: **2** - Glycinato: **2** - Diethylene triamine: **3** - EDTA: **6** ### Final Answer The number of donor sites in dimethylglyoxime, glycinato, diethylene triamine, and EDTA are respectively **2, 2, 3, and 6**. Thus, the correct option is **(b) 2, 2, 3, and 6**.
