A ligand is a
- A Bronsted acid
- B either a Lewis acid or a Lewis base
- C Lewis base
- D Lewis acid
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Lewis base
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ligands donate their lone pair of electrons to central metal atom and made a covalent bond. Since, they are \(e^{-}\)-donor, they act as Lewis base.
