Based on the potential ligands given, C2O42- and CO32- can form a maximum of two bonds to a metal

ion.

What are ligands?

Ligands are ion or molecule that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex.

Ligands are essential in many biological and enzyme complexes.

From the potential ligands given;

  • C2O42- can form can form a maximum of two bonds to a metal ion
  • CO32- can form two a maximum of two bonds to a metal ion
  • EDTA can form five to six bonds to a metal ion
  • Porphine can form one bond to a metal ion

Therefore, the potential ligands, C2O42- and CO32- can form a maximum of two bonds to a metal

ion.
