Replacement of one N H 3 ligand by H 2 O in the complex ion [ C o ( N H 3 ) 6 ] 3 + changes its color from yellow to red. Explanation has to be given whether the color shift is in expected direction. Concept Introduction: The term Crystal field splitting refers to segregation of d-orbitals in to higher energy orbitals and lower energy orbitals when ligands approaches metal ion to co-ordinate. Crystal field splitting is said to be larger when the energy gap between higher energy d-orbitals and lower energy d-orbitals is larger. Crystal field splitting is said to be smaller when the energy gap between higher energy d-orbitals and lower energy d-orbitals is smaller. Spectrochemical series refers to the arrangement of ligands with respect to crystal field splitting they cause in the d-orbitals of a metal ion. The ligand that causes larger splitting pattern is referred to as stronger ligand. The ligands are arranged in increasing order of crystal field splitting they produce.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Replacement of one NH3 ligand by H2O in the complex ion [Co(NH3)6]3+ changes its color from yellow to red. Explanation has to be given whether the color shift is in expected direction.

Concept Introduction:

The term Crystal field splitting refers to segregation of d-orbitals in to higher energy orbitals and lower energy orbitals when ligands approaches metal ion to co-ordinate. Crystal field splitting is said to be larger when the energy gap between higher energy d-orbitals and lower energy d-orbitals is larger. Crystal field splitting is said to be smaller when the energy gap between higher energy d-orbitals and lower energy d-orbitals is smaller.

Spectrochemical series refers to the arrangement of ligands with respect to crystal field splitting they cause in the d-orbitals of a metal ion. The ligand that causes larger splitting pattern is referred to as stronger ligand.

The ligands are arranged in increasing order of crystal field splitting they produce.
