According to crystal field theory, the ( M ) - Lbond in a complex is
Options
- Apurely ionio
- Bpurely covalent
- Cpurely co-ordinate
- Dpartially covalent
Correct answer
A. purely ionio
Step-by-step solution
The assumption of CFT is that ( M ) - ( L ) interactions are purely electrostatic in nature. In an octahedral metal complex electrostatic interaction of a positively charged metal ion with six negatively charged ligands or with the negative ends of dipoles associated with the six ligands can be seen.
