ChemistryCoordination CompoundsJEE Main 2022

Consider the following metal complexes: The spin-only magnetic moment value of the complex that absorbs light with shortest wavelength is B.M. (Nearest integer)

Answer: 0

Solution

In all the complexes cobalt is in the +3 state and all are low-spin (inner orbital) complexes. A stronger ligand gives larger crystal field splitting, so the order of splitting is $ > >
