The incorrect statement among the following is:
Options
- AThe colour of [ N i ( H 2 O ) 6 ] 2 + changes on adding ethylene diamine.
- BCrystal field theory consider the covalent character of bonding between ligand and central atoms.
- CThe magnitude of CFSE of octahedral complexes is higher than that of corresponding tetrahedral complexes.
- D[ C o ( C 2 O 4 ) 3 ] 3 – does not contain unpaired electrons.
Correct answer
B. Crystal field theory consider the covalent character of bonding between ligand and central atoms.
Step-by-step solution
Crystal field theory considers the interaction between ligand and central metal atom/ion to be purely electrostatic.
