Question: Among the ligands $ NH_3 $ , en, $ C{N^{-}} $ and CO, the correct order of their increasing field strength is
Options:
A) CO < $ NH_3 $ <en< $ C{N^{-}} $
B) $ NH_3 $ <en< $ C{N^{-}} $ <CO
C) $ C{N^{-}} $ < $ NH_3 $ <CO<en
D) en < $ C{N^{-}} $ < $ NH_3 $ <CO
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Based on spectrochemical series, ligands arranged in increasing order of crystal field strength are as $ NH_3<en<C{N^{-}}<CO $
