JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry

Two complexes \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\, (A)\) and \([Cr(NH_3)_6]Cl_3\, (B)\) are violet and yellow coloured respectively. The incorrect statement regarding them is

  1. A \({\Delta _0}\) values of \((A)\) and \((B)\) are calculated from the energies of violet and yellow light, respectively
  2. B both are paramagnetic with three unpaired electrons
  3. C both absorbs energies corresponding to their complementary colours
  4. D \({\Delta _0}\) value for \((A)\) is less than that of \((B)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \({\Delta _0}\) values of \((A)\) and \((B)\) are calculated from the energies of violet and yellow light, respectively

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\({\Delta _0}\) is calculated from the energies of absorbed radiation not from emitted radiation (complementary colour).
