Q. Low spin tetrahedral complexes are not formed because
Coordination Compounds
A
for tetrahedral complexes, the $CFSE$ is lower than pairing energy
37%
B
for tetrahedral complexes, the $CFSE$ is higher than pairing energy
22%
C
electrons do not go to $e_{g}$ in case of tetrahedral complexes
19%
D
tetrahedral complexes are formed by weak field ligands only
23%
Solution:
Crystal field stabilisation energy for tetrahedral complexes is less than pairing energy hence they do not pair up to form low spin complexes.
