Pick the correct statement:
Correct answer: A. Chelates are usually more stable than ordinary complexes
- A. Chelates are usually more stable than ordinary complexes
- B. Ordinary complexes are more stable than chelates
- C. Monodentate ligands form the chelates complexes
- D. Chelates have no ring structures
Explanation
Chelate ligands can form a ring with central metal. Therefore it can regulate electrons within a ring. Because of this there is more force of attraction between the central metal ion and the chelating agent, therefore, they are more stable than ordinary complexes.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
