What is the difference between a weak field ligand and a strong field ligand?

Options

  1. AA weak field ligand causes a small splitting of the d orbitals in the central metal ion, while a strong field
  2. BA weak field ligand forms strong coordination bonds with the central metal ion, while a strong field ligand fo
  3. CA weak field ligand typically has a higher atomic number, while a strong field ligand has a lower atomic numbe
  4. DA weak field ligand is a monodentate ligand, while a strong field ligand is a polydentate ligand.

Correct answer

A. A weak field ligand causes a small splitting of the d orbitals in the central metal ion, while a strong field

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) A weak field ligand causes a small splitting of the d orbitals in the central metal ion, while a strong field ligand causes a large splitting.
