$2$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) In the complex $[Ni(dmg)_2]$,the dimethylglyoximate $(dmg^-)$ ligand acts as a bidentate ligand.Each $dmg^-$ ligand forms one five-membered chelate ring with the $Ni^{2+}$ ion.Since there are two $dmg^-$ ligands,they form $2$ chelate rings.The hydrogen bonds present in the structure stabilize the complex but are not considered chelate rings.Therefore,the total number of chelate rings is $2$.

The total number of chelate rings in $[Ni(dmg)_2]$ is:
