Number of ambidentate ligands among the following is ______
\(\mathrm{NO}_2^{-}, \mathrm{SCN}^{-}, \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4^{2-}, \mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{CN}^{-}, \mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\).
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 $\mathrm{NO}_2^{-} ; \mathrm{SCN}^{-} ; \mathrm{CN}^{-}$
