1.

The complex ion that will lose its crystal field stabilization energy upon oxidation of its metal to +3 state is :(1) [Fe(phen)3] 2+ (2) [Zn(phen)3] 2+ (3) [Co(phen)3] 2+ (4) [Ni('phen)3] 2+ 

Answer»

Correct option (1) [Fe(phen)3] 2+  

Explanation:

In the complexes of Fe2+, CO2+, Ni2+ upon oxidation, complexes of Fe3+, CO2+ & Ni3+ stabilizes whereas in case of removing 3rd electron from Zn becomes difficult.
