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
