What factor(s) influence the magnitude of crystal field splitting (Do)?

Options

  1. AOnly the ligand's field strength
  2. BOnly the charge on the metal ion
  3. CBoth the ligand's field strength and the charge on the metal ion
  4. DNeither the ligand's field strength nor the charge on the metal ion

Correct answer

C. Both the ligand's field strength and the charge on the metal ion

Step-by-step solution

The magnitude of crystal field splitting (Do) depends on both the field strength produced by the ligand and the charge on the metal ion.
