The correct statements among I to III are:
I. Valence bond theory cannot explain the color exhibited by transition metal complexes
II. Valence bond theory can predict quantitatively the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes
III. Valence bond theory cannot distinguish ligands as weak and strong field ones
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
(i) VBT does not explain colour exhibited by complex of transition metal because splitting of 
-orbitals in explained by CFT.
(ii) VBT does not distinguish between strong and weak field complex.
(iii) VBT does not give quantitative interpretation of magnetic properties.
According to question statement I and III are correct.
