JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 24th January Evening Shift - No. 13)

Which of the following cannot be explained by crystal field theory?
The order of spectrochemical series
Stability of metal complexes
Magnetic properties of transition metal complexes
Colour of metal complexes

Explanation

CFT does not explain the order of spectrochemical series because as per CFT, anionic ligands should exert greatest splitting effect. However, they lie on lower end of the spectrochemical series.
