Coordination compounds are those compounds which retain their identity

1.	Coordination compounds are those compounds which retain their identity even in solution and it is essential for all living matter.1. Name a coordination compound containing Magnesium, which is essential for plants.2. When we coordinate EDTA with any metal, we get a ring structure. What is this process called?3. Explain.
Answer» 1. Chlorophyll. 2. Chelation. 3. When a poly dentate ligand is coordinated to the metal, a ring structure is obtained, called chelate complex. Such complexes are more stable than similar complexes containing unidentate ligands.
