Question

If Δ0 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 (A) Δ0 > P (B) Δ0 < P (C) Δ0 = P (D) Unpredictable

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

If pairing energy (p) is greater than the CFSE (Δ0) 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.

Q. If $Δ_{0}$ 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

$Δ_{0} > P$

$Δ_{0} < P$

$Δ_{0} = P$

Unpredictable

If pairing energy $(p)$ is greater than the CFSE $(Δ_{0})$ 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.

Q. If Δ0​ 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

Δ0​>P

Δ0​<P

Δ0​=P
