Question

The octahedral complex of a metal ion M 3 + with four monodentate ligands L 1 , &#160; L 2 , &#160; L 3 &#160; and &#160; L 4 absorb wavelengths in the region of red, green, yellow and blue, respectively. The increasing order of ligand strength of the four ligands is

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

The colors of wavelengths are absorbed in decreasing order of wavelengths.

λ_{red} > λ_{yellow} > λ_{green} > λ_{blue}

as

ΔE = \frac{hc}{λ}

Δ E_{Red} < Δ E_{Yellow} < Δ E_{Green} < Δ E_{Blue}

L_{1} < L_{3} < L_{2} < L_{4}

As the order of ligand field strength provides the order of relative crystal field splitting energies.
