Which of the following is the correct order for the wavelength if absorption in the visible region.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
When central metal ion is same (here ), the absorption of colour depends on the ligand.
According to spectrochemical series, various ligands are as follows
Thus, ~is the weakest ligand among these, therefore the absorbed energy will be lowest in
so it will absorb highest wavelength (red light).
~The order of increasing wavelength is
\left[Ni\left({NO}_{2}\right)6\right]4 - < \left[Ni\left({NH}_{3}\right)6\right]2 + < \left[Ni\left({H}_{2}O\right)6\right]2 +$
