Chapter 23, Problem 78E

Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

The ligand which will produce larger values in the complexes' should be identified..

Concept introduction:

The colour of the co-ordination compound depends upon the d-d electronic transition in a few case. The d-d electronic transition is the energy to uplift one electron from the ground state to the excited state. The symmetry and expression of the ground state and excited state depends upon the geometry of the complex. Thus the energy is nothing but the crystal field splitting energy (Δ).
