- Ligands are classified according to the manner in which they bind to the central metal ion
- Ligands that bond using the electron pair of a single donor atom
- Monodentate Ligands (One toothed)
- g H2O, Cl–, CN–

[/cs_text][cs_text]
- Ligands that bond through electron pairs on more than one donor atom
- Polydentate Ligands
- Polydentate ligands are also known as chelating (Claw) agents
- Multi-point attachment resembles a crab claw
- Donor atoms bond simultaneously to the central metal ion
- g oxalate ion, Ethylenediamine
