NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the Crystal Field Theory is correct?
Anionic ligands exert the greatest splitting effect.
Crystal Field Theory considers the covalent nature of bonding.
Crystal Field Theory assumes ligands are point charges.
The spectrochemical series places anionic ligands at the high end.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Crystal Field Theory assumes ligands are point charges and does not consider the covalent nature of bonding. Anionic ligands, despite being point charges, are at the low end of the spectrochemical series.
