NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Strong field ligands (i) Produce large splitting in d orbitals (b) Weak field ligands (ii) Produce small splitting in d orbitals (c) e_g orbitals (iii) Higher energy level in octahedral field (d) t_2g orbitals (iv) Lower energy level in octahedral field
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Strong field ligands are known to produce large splitting in d orbitals (i), while weak field ligands produce small splitting (ii). The e_g orbitals are at a higher energy level (iii) compared to the t_2g orbitals which are at a lower energy level (iv) in an octahedral field.
