JEE Advanced Chemistry question
Which one of the following complexes is expected to have lowest values?
Answer: (B)
Solution
Two factors raise : a stronger-field ligand, and a heavier (lower-row) transition metal (because larger, more diffuse / orbitals overlap more effectively with ligand orbitals). combines a weak-field ligand (, near the bottom of the spectrochemical series) with a first-row (3d)
