Q13 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (26 Aug Shift 2) · Chemistry

Arrange the following Cobalt complexes in the order of increasing Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) value.

Complexes: CoF63-A,CoH2O62+B,CoNH363+C and Co(en)33+D

Choose the correct option :

  • A
    B<C<D<A
  • Correct answer
    B
    B<A<C<D
  • C
    A<B<C<D
  • D
    C<D<B<A

Solution

CFSE ∝ Strength of ligand

 en>NH3>H2O>F-

CFSE ∝ Oxidation number of the central metal.

∴ Order of CFSE

CoH2O62+<CoF63-<CoNH363+<Co(en)33+

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
