NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12
Assertion (A): Anionic ligands exert the greatest splitting effect in coordination complexes.
Reason (R): Crystal Field Theory assumes ligands are point charges, leading to greater splitting by anionic ligands.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, anionic ligands are found at the low end of the spectrochemical series, contradicting the assumption that they exert the greatest splitting effect.
