JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

The correct statements among \(I\) to \(III\) are \(I\). Valence bond theory cannot explain the color exhibited by transition metal complexes \(II\). Valence bond theory can predict quantitatively the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes \(III\). Valence bond theory cannot distinguish ligands as weak and strong field ones

  1. A \(I\) and \(II\) only
  2. B \(I\), \(II\) and \(III\)
  3. C \(I\) and \(III\) only
  4. D \(II\) and \(III\) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(I\) and \(III\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((i)\) \(VBT\) does not explain colour exhibited by complex of transition metal because splitting of \(d-\) orbitals in explained by \(CFT\). \((ii)\) \(VBT\) does not distinguish between strong and weak field complex. \((iii)\) \(VBT\) does not give quantitative interpretation…
