The octahedral complex of a metal ion M 3+ with four monodentate ligands L 1 , L 2 , L 3 and L 4 absorb wavelengths in the region of red, green, yellow and blue, respectively. The increasing order of ligand strength of the four ligands is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
∴ Increasing order of energy of wavelengths absorbed reflect greater extent of crystal-field splitting, hence higher field strength of the ligand.
Energy : Blue (L 4 ) > green (L 2 ) > yellow (L 3 ) > red (L 1 )
∴ L 4 > L 2 > L 3 > L 1 in field strength of ligands.
