Which ion produces a small crystal field splitting (a weak ligand field)?A. (a) `I^(-)`B. (b) `Cl^(-)`C. (c) `F^(-)`D. (d) All |
Answer» Correct Answer - D Strong ligand produces more crystal field splitting. Weak ligand produces small crystal field splitting, thereby increasing strength of ligands `I^(-)ltBr^(-)ltS^(2-)ltSCN^(-)ltCl^(-)ltN^(3-)ltF^(-)` Weak field ligand `ltOH^(-)ltC_2 O_4^(-2)ltH_2OltNCS^(-)` `~H^(-)ltNH_3lten=CO_3^(2-)ltNO_2^(-)ltCN^(-)ltCO^(-)` increasing order of strong field ligands |
