The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the ligands from the given list that are both monodentate and ambidentate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Monodentate and Ambidentate Ligands:** - **Monodentate Ligands:** These ligands have only one donor atom that can coordinate to the central metal atom. Examples include halides and cyanide (CN⁻). - **Ambidentate Ligands:** These ligands can coordinate through two different atoms, but they still function as monodentate ligands in the context of coordination. Examples include thiocyanate (SCN⁻), which can bind through sulfur or nitrogen. 2. **List the Given Ligands:** - CN⁻ (Cyanide) - C₂O₄²⁻ (Oxalate) - S₂²⁻ (Disulfide) - NO₂⁻ (Nitrite) - OCN⁻ (Cyanate) - SCN⁻ (Thiocyanate) 3. **Identify Monodentate Ligands:** - CN⁻: Monodentate (can bind through carbon or nitrogen, but typically binds through carbon). - C₂O₄²⁻: Bidentate (binds through both oxygen atoms). - S₂²⁻: Monodentate (can bind through one sulfur atom). - NO₂⁻: Monodentate (binds through nitrogen). - OCN⁻: Ambidentate (can bind through oxygen or carbon). - SCN⁻: Ambidentate (can bind through sulfur or nitrogen). 4. **Identify Ambidentate Ligands:** - CN⁻: Ambidentate (can bind through carbon or nitrogen). - OCN⁻: Ambidentate (can bind through oxygen or carbon). - SCN⁻: Ambidentate (can bind through sulfur or nitrogen). - NO₂⁻: Ambidentate (can bind through nitrogen or oxygen). 5. **Count the Ligands that are Both Monodentate and Ambidentate:** - From the analysis, the ligands that are both monodentate and ambidentate are: - CN⁻ - OCN⁻ - SCN⁻ - Therefore, the total count is **3 ligands**. ### Final Answer: The number of ligands which are monodentate as well as ambidentate is **3**.
