NEET Chemistry Coordination Number Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Anionic ligands are found at the low end of the spectrochemical series.
Reason (R): Anionic ligands exert the greatest splitting effect according to Crystal Field Theory assumptions.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true; however, the reason does not explain the assertion since, despite the assumption that anionic ligands exert great splitting, they are found at the low end of the spectrochemical series.
