Assertion: Toxic metal ions are removed by chelating ligands. Reason: Chelate complexes tend to be more stable. (True/False?)
Both True, and Reason is the correct explanation. Chelating agents (like EDTA) form stable complexes with toxic metals, preventing them from reacting with biological systems and aiding excretion.
