(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 the presence of maximum paired electrons in lower energy
To determine: If the given crystal field diagram corresponds to

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
