Options
- A. Br ^-
- B. OH ^-
- C. en
- D. H _2 O
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 ^-
