Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Referring to the figure 22.27 given in textbook maximum absorption of the complex ion
Concept Introduction:
Almost all the Co-ordination compounds are colored compounds. Presence of unpaired electrons in a complex compound makes it colored as the unpaired electrons undergo transition from lower energy level to higher energy level. The color of the complex observed is complementary to the color absorbed in the wavelength region.
(b)
Interpretation:
The absorption curve of
Concept Introduction:

Presence of unpaired electrons in a complex compound makes it colored as the unpaired electrons undergo transition from lower energy level to higher energy level. The color of the complex observed is complementary to the color absorbed in the wavelength region.
Stronger the ligand greater will be the crystal field splitting energy and lower will be the wavelength of absorption.
(c)
Interpretation:
The crystal field splitting energy of
Concept Introduction:
Stronger the ligand greater will be the crystal field splitting energy and lower will be the wavelength of absorption.
