The complex ion that will lose its crystal field stabilization energy upon oxidation of metal to + 3 state is:
Options
- ANi p h e n 3 2 +
- BF e p h e n 3 2 +
- CC o p h e n 3 2 +
- DZn p h e n 3 2 +
Correct answer
B. F e p h e n 3 2 +
Step-by-step solution
F e + 2 A r 3 d 6 → F e + 3 A r 3 d 5 C F S E = 6 × - 0.4 Δ 0 = - 2.4 Δ 0 C F S E = - 2.0 Δ 0 In all other cases, the electron is removed from e g orbital and is hence, this will lead to decrease in pairing energy.
