Which of the following complex will show largest splitting of d-orbitals?
Solution
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 a small splitting of d orbitals.
In general, ligands can be arranged in a series called spectrochemical series according to which maximum splitting is done by the strongest ligand which is cyanide () ion in this case.
