In which of the following coordination entities the magnitude of 
(CFSE in octahedral field) will be maximum?
A
B
C
D
(At. No. Co 
)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When the ligands are arranged in order of the magnitude of crystal field splitting, the arrangement, thus, obtained is called spectrochemical series.
Arranged in increasing field strength as
It has been observed that ligands before 
are weak field ligands while ligands after 
are strong field ligands.
CFSE in octahedral field depends upon the nature of ligands. Stronger the ligands larger will be the value of
