The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Bidentate Ligands**: - Bidentate ligands are molecules that have two donor atoms capable of donating a pair of electrons to a central metal atom in a coordination complex. 2. **Identifying Bidentate Ligands from Options**: - We will analyze each option provided to determine if they are bidentate ligands. 3. **Option 1: Oxalate (C2O4^2-)**: - The oxalate ion has two oxygen atoms that can donate lone pairs of electrons. - Structure: It consists of two carbon atoms and four oxygen atoms. - Conclusion: **Oxalate is a bidentate ligand**. 4. **Option 2: Ethylene Diamine (en)**: - Ethylene diamine has two nitrogen atoms, each with a lone pair of electrons that can be donated to a metal center. - Structure: It consists of two ethyl groups and two amine groups. - Conclusion: **Ethylene diamine is a bidentate ligand**. 5. **Option 3: Dimethylglyoxime (DMG)**: - Dimethylglyoxime contains two nitrogen atoms that can each donate a lone pair of electrons. - Structure: It is structured with two carbon atoms connected to nitrogen and hydroxyl groups. - Conclusion: **Dimethylglyoxime is a bidentate ligand**. 6. **Option 4: Glycine (NH2CH2COOH)**: - Glycine has one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom that can donate lone pairs of electrons. - Structure: It consists of an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. - Conclusion: **Glycine is a bidentate ligand**. 7. **Final Conclusion**: - All the options provided (Oxalate, Ethylene Diamine, Dimethylglyoxime, and Glycine) are bidentate ligands.
