Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (B), (C), (D), (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ligand field strength: \(F^- As crystal field splitting energy (\(\Delta_o\)) increases, absorbed wavelength (\(\lambda\)) decreases (\(\Delta_o \propto 1/\lambda\)). Decreasing order of \(\lambda_{abs}\):…
