The complex ion that will lose its crystal field stabilization energy upon oxidation of metal to + 3 state is:

The complex ion that will lose its crystal field stabilization energy upon oxidation of metal to +3 state is:
  1. Niphen32+
  2. Fephen32+
  3. Cophen32+
  4. Znphen32+

Solution

Fe+2Ar3d6Fe+3Ar3d5

CFSE=6×-0.4Δ0=-2.4Δ0
CFSE=-2.0 Δ0

In all other cases, the electron is removed from eg orbital and is hence, this will lead to decrease in pairing energy.
