Question

Weak field ligands form high spin complexes due to
(where $\Delta_{0}$ is crystal field splitting and $P$ = pairing energy)

• A. $\Delta_{0}>P$
• B. $ \Delta _{0} < P $
• C. $ \Delta _{0}=P $
• D. $ \Delta _{0}=0 $

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Weak field ligands form high spin complexes due to $\Delta_{0}< p$.
where, $\Delta_{0}=$ crystal field splitting $P =$ pairing energy
