The order of energy absorbed which is responsible for the color of complexes

(A) NiH2O2(en)22+

(B) NiH2O4(en)2+ and

(C) Ni(en)32+ is

  • A
    (C)>(B)>(A)
  • Correct answer
    B
    (C)>(A)>(B)
  • C
    (B)>(A)>(C)
  • D
    (A)>(B)>(C)

Solution

The complexes with strong filed ligands absorbs the highest energy light than complexes with weak field ligands.

Ethylene diamine(en) is strong field ligand and H2O is the weak field ligand.

Hence, the correct order of energy absorbed is 

Nien32+>NiH2O2en22+>NiH2O4en2+

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