What might cause the h2o ligand in chromium[3]nitrate to be stronger than ethylenediamine

Accepted Answer

The statement is incorrect. Ethylenediamine (en) is a stronger ligand than water (H2O) in coordination complexes. This is due to the chelate effect, where multidentate ligands (like ethylenediamine) form more stable complexes than monodentate ligands (like water) due to the entropic advantage of chelation.
