NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Strong field ligands (i) Increase crystal field splitting energy (b) Weak field ligands (ii) Decrease crystal field splitting energy (c) d orbitals splitting (iii) Generates paramagnetic properties (d) Unpaired electrons (iv) Causes diamagnetic properties
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Strong field ligands increase the crystal field splitting energy, while weak field ligands decrease it. The presence of unpaired electrons leads to paramagnetism, whereas paired electrons result in diamagnetism, aligning with the concepts of crystal field theory.
