Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
The increasing order of crystal field splitting strength of the given ligands is
A
NH₃ < Cl⁻ < CN⁻ < F⁻ < CO < H₂O
B
F⁻ < Cl⁻ < NH₃ < CN⁻ < H₂O < CO
C
Cl⁻ < F⁻ < H₂O < NH₃ < CN⁻ < CO
D
CO < CN⁻ < NH₃ < H₂O < F⁻ < Cl⁻
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The order of crystal field splitting strength is determined by the spectrochemical series. Cl⁻ < F⁻ < H₂O < NH₃ < CN⁻ < CO reflects the increasing field strength.
