Chlorophyll is a compound that is known as a chelate. A chelate consists of a central metal ion bonded to a large organic molecule, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and other elements such as oxygen and nitrogen. Chlorophyll has magnesium as its central metal ion, and the large organic molecule to which it bonds is known as a porphyrin.
