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
