Which of the following complexes will show absorbance of light at the lowest wavelength?
- A \(\left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\)
- B \(\left[ CoCl \left( NH _3\right)_5\right]^{2+}\)
- C \(\left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_5\left( H _2 O \right)\right]^{3+}\)
- D \(\left[ Co ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\left[ Co ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Lowest \( \lambda \text{ absorption} \implies \text{highest energy} \implies \text{largest } \Delta_o \). \( CN^- \) is the strongest field ligand in the given options. \( \left[ Co ( CN )_6 \right]^{3-} \).

Carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids play an important role in the biochemical process of plants and animal kingdon. Many aldehydes and ketones find applications in dye, perfumery and other industries.
The carbonyl carbon atom is \(s p^2\)-hybridized forming three sigma and one pi-bond with oxygen.
C-O bonds are polar bond due to high electronegativity of oxygen than carbon.
Hence the carbonyl carbon behaves as an electrophilic center and oxygen as a nucleophilic centre.
Primary and secondary alcohols yield aldehydes and ketones respectively upon oxidation with variety of oxidixing agents.
The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones differ from hydrocarbons and ethers.
Aldehydes and ketones undergo nucleophilic addition reaction due to presence of electrophilic carbonyl carbon.
Nucleophile and a proton add across the carbon oxygen double bond.

The crystal field theory (CFT) is an electrostatic model which considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the ligand. Ligands are treated as point charges in case of anions or dipoles in case of neutral molecules. The five d orbitals in an isolated gaseous metal atom/ion have same energy, i.e., they are degenerate. This degeneracy is maintained if a spherically symmetrical field of negative charges surrounds the metal atom/ion. However, when this negative field is due to ligands (either anions or the negative ends of dipolar molecules like NH3 and H2O) in a complex, it becomes asymmetrical and the degeneracy of the dorbitals is lifted. It results in splitting of the d orbitals. The pattern of splitting depends upon the nature of the crystal field.
