Two complexes 
and 
are violet and yellow coloured, respectively. The incorrect statement regarding them is:
A
values of 
and 
are calculated from the energies of violet and yellow light, respectively.
B
both are paramagnetic with three unpaired electrons.
C
both absorb energies corresponding to their complementary colors.
D
value for 
is less than that of 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
of 
For complex 
Here, both the complexes 
and 
are paramagnetic with 
unpaired electrons each. Also 
is a weak field ligand which causes lesser splitting than 
which is comparatively stronger field ligand. Hence, the 
value of 
an 
are calculated from the wavelengths of light absorbed and not from the wavelengths of light emitted
