Crystal field splitting: The energy gap between the splitting of d-orbitals of the metal ion in presence of ligands is known as the crystal field splitting $\text{(Δ)}$. The magnitude of $\text{(Δ)}$ is depends on the nature of metal ions and the ligands.

To Identify: To determine the magnetic property of the given compounds.

Answer to Problem 23.76QP

The ${\text{Cu}}^{\text{3+}}$ ion is unstable.

Explanation of Solution

Interpret the given information.

The ${\text{Cu}}^{\text{3+}}$ ion is unstable because of the high charge density on the small cation and the coordination of the small and highly charged fluoride ligands is possible but in the biological compounds the ligands to extremely large to disperse the charge and get stabilized.
