Answer»

Right answer is (a) True

The explanation: SCN^– is an AMBIDENTATE ligand that can EITHER bond through S ATOM or N atom to a central atom/ion. But, at a time there is only a SINGLE donor atom, either S or N, making it a unidentate ligand. For a FACT, all ambidentate ligands are unidentate.
