NEET Chemistry Ligands Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Ligands influence the color of coordination compounds.
Reason (R): Anionic ligands in coordination compounds are named with the suffix '-ido'.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The influence of ligands on color is due to crystal field splitting, not naming conventions. The naming of anionic ligands with '-ido' does not explain the color change.
