Question

Homoleptic octahedral complexes of a metal ion M^3+ with three monodentate ligands L_1 ,L_2 and L_3 absorb wavelengths in the region of green, blue and red respectively. The increasing order of the ligand strength is:

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. (a) Lesser the wavelength of light absorbed (more energy) greater will be ligand strength. Energy: Blue > Green > Red > Ligand strength: \&L_2 \& \&> \& \&L_1 \& \&> \& \&L_3
