Q.

The correct order of the wavelength of light absorbed by the following complexes is,

A. [Co(NH3)6]3+ 
B. [Co(CN)6]3- 
C. [Cu(H2O)4]2+
D. [Ti(H2O)6]3+

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:                 [2025]

1 C < D < A < B  
2 C < A < D < B  
3 B < D < A < C  
4 B < A < D < C  

Ans.

(4)

Stronger is the strength of the ligand, greater is the splitting and higher is the energy absorbed by the complex.

As  E=hcλ  or  E1λ

So, wavelength of light absorbed is inversely proportional to the strength of the ligand.
