Question

Three octahedral complexes of one metal ion absorb predominantly at 640, 520 and 410 nm. Ligands L w ​ , Lₘ, Lₛ have increasing field strength. Assume each band energy equals Δₒ. Which assignment is correct?

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Δₒ = hc/λ. Greater field strength gives higher photon energy and shorter wavelength. Observed colour is complementary to absorbed colour.
