Assertion (A): Toxic metal ions are removed by the chelating ligands.

Reason (R): Chelate complexes tend to be more stable.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Assertion and Reason both are true, Reason is correct explanation of Assertion.

Option A (Assertion and Reason both are true, Reason is correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because chelating ligands form more stable complexes (chelates) with metal ions, effectively removing toxic metal ions from the system.
