The phenomenon of greater equilibrium constants for the reaction of chelating ligands versus non-chelating ligands.

Explanation:

The chelate effect is defined as the augmented affinity of chelating ligands for any mettalic ion in comparison of the affinity of a similar nonchelating ligands for the same metallic ion.
