Using your knowledge of Ligand Field Theory, Although oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen, ammonia is a significantly stronger field ligand than Water. Why this is the case A- Oxygen of water is more electronegative, but the water has two lone pairs, in which allow to work as o - donor and n- donor. However, ammonia has only one lone pair that allow to work as T- donor. B- Oxygen of water is more electronegative, but the water has two lone pairs, in which allow to work as o - donor and t- donor. However, ammonia has only one lone pair that allow to work as o - donor. C- Oxygen of water is more electronegative, but the water has two lone pairs, in which allow to work as o - donor and T - acceptor. However, ammonia has only one lone pair that allow to work as n- donor. D- Oxygen of water is more electronegative, but the water has two lone pairs, in which allow to work as o - donor and T - acceptor. However, ammonia has only one lone pair that allow to work as t - acceptor.

Coordination Chemistry

It is a part of chemistry, in which the study of compounds that have central atoms surrounded by molecules or ions, known as ligand, is known as coordination chemistry.
