A ligand can also be regarded as
- A Lewis acid
- B Bronsted base
- C Lewis base
- D Bronsted acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Lewis base
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
A ligand is an atom or group of atom which donates lone pair of electron to central metal ions in coordination compound. Also, Lewis base is the substance that donates a pair of electron. Hence, ligand can also be regarded as Lewis base.
