Each of a series of ligands, A, B and C can bind Li' ions. The values of AH (KJmol') for the formation of Li* -complexes with all 3 ligands are identical. However, the values for TAS for the three ligands are, A(6.2 KJmol-'), B(28.4 KJmol') and C( 11.2 KJmol-) respectively. Which of the three ligands forms the most stable complex? Give reasons for your answer. (d)

Each of a series of ligands, A, B and C can bind Li" ions. The values of AH
(KJmol") for the formation of Li -complexes with all 3 ligands are identical.
However, the values for TAS for the three ligands are, A(6.2 KJmol), B(28.4
KJmol) and C( 1l1.2 KImol) respectively. Which of the three ligands forms the
most stable complex? Give reasons for your answer.
