Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given crystal field diagrams are to be matched with the correct complex ions.
Concept introduction: Weak field ligand that has small crystal field splitting energy gives high spin due to presence of maximum unpaired electrons in lower energy
Strong field ligand that has large crystal field splitting energy gives low spin due to presence of maximum paired electrons in lower energy
To determine: If the given crystal field diagram corresponds to

- Consider the complex ion [CoCO3(NH3)4], where the CO32 is a bidentate ligand. a Is this complex ion octahedral or square planar? b What is the oxidation state of the cobalt?arrow_forwardConsider the pseudo-octahedral complex ion of Cr3+, where A and B represent ligands. Ligand A produces a stronger crystal field than ligand B. Draw an appropriate crystal field diagram for this complex ion (assume the A ligands are on the z-axis).arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution of [Rh(C2O4)3]3− is yellow. Predict the approximate wavelength and predominant color of light absorbed by the complex.arrow_forward
