SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the factors that determine whether a ligand exhibits a strong electrical field, specifically highlighting the role of polarity. It is established that the terminal groups of the ligand, such as carboxylic acid groups (R-COOH), significantly influence this property. The polarity of these terminal groups is crucial in determining the strength of the electrical field generated by the ligand.
