MCQ
Consider the following complexes.

$\left[\mathrm{CoCl}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5\right]^{2+}, \quad\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-} \text {, }$

$(A)$                                        $(B)$

$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)\right]^{3+}, \quad\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_4\right]^{2+}$

$(C)$                                       $(D)$

The correct order of $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$ in terms of wavenumber of light absorbed is :

  • A
    $C $<$ D $<$ A $<$ B$
  • $D $<$ A $<$ C $<$ B$
  • C
    $A $<$ C $<$ B $<$ D$
  • D
    $B $<$ C $<$ A $<$ D$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$D $<$ A $<$ C $<$ B$
b
As ligand field increases, light of more energy is absorbed

Energy $\propto$ wave number
