The complex ion having minimum magnitude of ( ₀(C F S E) ) is
Options
- A( [ Cr ( CN )₆ ]³⁻ )
- B( [ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ]³⁺ )
- C( [ Co ( Cl )₆ ]³⁻ )
- D( [ Cr ( H ₂ O )₆ ]³⁺ )
Correct answer
C. ( [ Co ( Cl )₆ ]³⁻ )
Step-by-step solution
The magnitude of ( ₀ ) depends upon the type of ligands. For examples; strong field ligands have high magnitude of the ( ₀ ) and weak field ligands low magnitude of ( _ o ). Spectro chemical order of the ligands ( Cl ⁻ ( Cl ⁻ )is a weak field ligand, therefore, ( _ o ) will be minimum
