Among the following complexes the one which shows zero crystal field stabilization energy \((CFSE)\) is

  1. A \([Mn(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\)
  2. B \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\)
  3. C \([Co(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\)
  4. D \([Co(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) is a weak field ligand, hence \(\Delta_{o}<\) pairing energy.
