Complex-Formation Titration
• Lewis acid – electron pair acceptor e.g. Ca2+,
Mg2+, Zn2+
• Lewis base – electron pair donor (ligand);
must have at least a lone pair of electrons e.g.
NH3
• Chelate – a cyclic complex formed when a
cation is bonded by two or more donor groups
contained in a single ligand
• Dentate – means having tooth-like projections
Complex-Formation Titration
• Coordination number – number of covalent
bonds that a cation tends to form with
electron donors
