Coordination Compounds Question 18
Question 18 - 01 February - Shift 1
Which of the following complex will show largest splitting of d-orbitals?
(1) $[Fe(C_2 O_4)_3]^{3-}$
(2) $[FeF_6]^{3-}$
(3) $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$
(4) $[Fe(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$
Show Answer
Answer: (3)
Solution:
Formula: Spliting in d orbital
$\overline{C} N$ is a strong field ligand so maximum splitting in d orbitals take place.
