Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) III>I>IV>II

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The crystal field splitting, ∆o, depends upon the field produced by the ligand and charge on the metal ion. Some ligands are able to produce strong fields in which case, the splitting will be large whereas others produce weak fields and consequently result in small…
