The crystal field splitting energy of complex is ' times that of the complex. Here ' is . (Assume
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
The Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) is calculated based on the electronic configuration of the central metal ion in the octahedral field.
For :
Cobalt is in oxidation state. has a configuration.
Given , it is a low spin complex. The electrons fill the level first.
Configuration: .
CFSE for .
For :
Chromium is in oxidation state. has a configuration.
Configuration: .
CFSE for .
Comparing the magnitudes of the stabilization energies:
Magnitude of CFSE for .
Magnitude of CFSE for .
The ratio .
