What is a chelator? Cant find this in the dictionary.
try chelate or ligand
Chelate- A chemical compound in the form of a heterocyclic ring, containing a metal ion attached by coordinate bonds to at least two nonmetal ions.
Ligand- An ion, a molecule, or a molecular group that binds to another chemical entity to form a larger complex.
So what does it mean? Forming an "artificial" compound which does not exist in nature? []
lol
no no, think of this in simple terms ok?
imagine the metal ion in free solution, very vulnerable to attack by oxidising agents right? which isn't a very desirable thing rite? so what happens is they get these chelates to bond to the metal so they can stabilise it
simple as that, nothing more
