Which of the following is a more stable complex and why?
(i) [Co(NH3)6]3+
(ii) [Co(en)3]3+
Chelating ligands form more stable complexes compared to non-chelating ligands. Since ethylene diamine is a bidentate ligand and forms stable chelate, [Co(en)3]3+ will be a more stable complex than [Co(NH3)6]3+
