NH2 (amine) is an example of:
Correct answer: A. Neutral ligand
- A. Neutral ligand
- B. Anionic ligand
- C. Cationic ligand
- D. None of the above
Explanation
This is the correct answer. An amine (NH2) is a neutral ligand because it does not carry a net charge. It donates a lone pair of electrons to form coordinate covalent bonds with metal ions

About Electronic Structure of d-Block Elements
The electronic structure of d-block elements covers the filling of the (n-1)d and ns orbitals, general electronic configurations, and the exceptions shown by chromium and copper. It explains how partially filled d orbitals produce variable oxidation states, coloured ions, magnetic behaviour and complex formation, while distinguishing transition elements from elements with completely filled d subshells.
