Number of ambidentate ligands among the following is $\qquad$ .

$\mathrm{NO}_{2}^{-}, \mathrm{SCN}^{-}, \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}^{2-}, \mathrm{NH}_{3}, \mathrm{CN}^{-}, \mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$

Answer: 3

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

Ligands which have two different donor sites but at a time connects with only one donor site to central metal are ambidentate

ligands. Ambidentate ligands are $\mathrm{NO}_{2}^{-} ; \mathrm{SCN}^{-} ; \mathrm{CN}^{-}$
