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

Which of the following cannot be explained by crystal field theory?

  1. A The order of spectrochemical series
  2. B Magnetic properties of transition metal complexes
  3. C Colour of metal complexes
  4. D Stability of metal complexes
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Stability of metal complexes

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Crystal field theory introduce spectrochemical series based upon the experimental values of \(\Delta\) but can't explain it's order. While other three points are explained by \(CFT\). Specially when the \(CFSE\) increases thermodynamic stability of the complex increases.
