JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 12)
Homoleptic octahedral complexes of a metal ion 'M3+' with three monodenate ligands L1, L2 and L3 adsorb wavelenths in the region of green, blue and red respectively. The increasing order of the ligands strength is :
L3 < L1 < L2
L3 < L2 < L1
L1 < L2 < L3
L2 < L1 < L3
Explanation
Stronger the ligand, absorption of light having lower wavelength is more.
Order of $$\lambda $$ : Red $$>$$ Green $$>$$ Blue
Hence, ligand strength is L3 $$<$$ L1 $$<$$ L2
Order of $$\lambda $$ : Red $$>$$ Green $$>$$ Blue
Hence, ligand strength is L3 $$<$$ L1 $$<$$ L2
