Question

According to ligand classification based on charge, which of the following molecules behave as neutral ligands in coordination complexes?

Answer: A,B,C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Neutral ligands do not carry an overall electrical charge. Aqua ($H_2O$), Ammine ($NH_3$), and Carbonyl ($CO$) are standard neutral ligands. Oxalato ($C_2O_4^{2-}$) carries a formal charge of $-2$ and is an anionic (negative) ligand.
