Identify a ligand with lowest field strength among the following.
Options
- ABr ^-
- BOH ^-
- Cen
- DH ₂ O
Correct answer
A. Br ^-
Step-by-step solution
The field strength of ligands is determined by the spectrochemical series, which arranges ligands in order of increasing field strength. The spectrochemical series is given as: I ^- Comparing the given ligands based on the series, the order of field strength is: Br ^- Therefore, Br ^- has the lowest field strength among the given options. Answer: Br ^-
