Question

Based on the change in color would you expect [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]²⁺to have a larger or smaller value of ∆ than [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺? Is this prediction consistent with the spectro-chemical series?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The magnitude of CFSE changes with change in the ligand. The ligands can be classified as strong fields or weak field ligands. On basis of the relative power of ligand splitting energy, they are arranged in series called spectrochemical series.
