What is the fundamental idea behind the Crystal Field Theory (CFT)?

What is the fundamental idea behind the Crystal Field Theory (CFT)?

Options

  1. AIt assumes that metal-ligand bonds are purely covalent.
  2. BIt considers the metal-ligand bond as purely ionic due to electrostatic interactions.
  3. CIt assumes that the d orbitals in metal atoms are non-degenerate.
  4. DIt explains the color exhibited by coordination compounds.

Correct answer

B. It considers the metal-ligand bond as purely ionic due to electrostatic interactions.

Step-by-step solution

The Crystal Field Theory (CFT) is based on the assumption that the metal-ligand bond is purely ionic due to electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and ligands.
