Chelating agents are chemical compounds whose structures allow two or more donor atoms to connect to the same metal ion, resulting in the formation of one or more rings.These molecules are referred to as chelates or chelating groups, and the process of forming rings is called chelation. Chelating agents are organic or inorganic chemicals that can bind metal ions to form complex, ring-like structures known as chelates. The molecules create stable connections with metallic atoms, increasing their stability, solubility, and resistance to dissociation.
