Q10 / 214 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Coordination Compounds

The complex ion having minimum wavelength of absorption in the visible region is

  • Correct answer
    A
    [Co(NH3)6]3+
  • B
    [CoCl(NH3)5]2+
  • C
    Cis-[CoCl2(NH3)4]+
  • D
    Trans-[CoCl2(NH3)4]+

Solution

Here [Co(NH3)6]3+ have minimum wavelength of absorption in the visible region as for it splitting energy is more as it has all strong ligands.
Δ0 (splitting energy) ∝1λ(Absorbed)
Basic strength of ligand C > N > O > X (halogen) donor.

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