The octahedral complex of a metal ionM3+with four monodentate ligandsL1, L2, L3 and L4 absorb wavelengths in the region of red, green, yellow and blue, respectively. The increasing order of ligand strength of the four ligands is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

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

λ red > λ yellow > λ green > λ blue

asΔE=hcλ

Δ E Red < Δ E Yellow < Δ E Green < Δ E Blue

L1 < L3 < L2 < L4

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