Low spin tetrahedral complexes are not formed because
A
For tetrahedral complexes the CFSE is lower than pairing energy
B
For tetrahedral complexes, the CFSE of higher than pairing energy
C
Electrons do not go to 
in case of tetrahedral complexes
in case of tetrahedral complexes
D
Tetrahedral complexes are formed by weak filed ligands only.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Crystal field stabilizations energy for tetrahedral complexes is less than pairing energy hence they do not pair up to form low spin complexes.
