NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Strong Field Ligands (i) Can cause large crystal field splitting (b) Weak Field Ligands (ii) Can cause small crystal field splitting (c) Paramagnetic Complexes (iii) Have unpaired electrons (d) Diamagnetic Complexes (iv) Have all electrons paired
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Strong field ligands are known to cause large crystal field splitting, while weak field ligands lead to small splitting. Paramagnetic complexes contain unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic complexes have all electrons paired, as discussed in the NCERT context regarding magnetic properties and ligand field strength.
