Q. If $\Delta_{0}$ is the crystal field stabilisation energy of a ligand and $P$ is the energy required for electron pairing in an orbital, then ligand is called weak ligand if

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

If pairing energy $(p)$ is greater than the $CFSE \left(\Delta_{0}\right)$ then, the ligand would not be able to pair the d-electrons of metal ion and the ligand is said to be weak field ligand.
