Arrange these complexes in order of octahedal splitting energy, 4,.
Largest a°
Smallest A.
[Cr(OH)613
[Co(NH3)1,]3+
[Cr(NO2)6]3
[Ru(NO2)6]3-
1st complex is Cr3+ weak ligand hence delta o is small
2nd complex is Co3+ in reasonably strong ligand hence delta o is higher
3nd complex is Cr3+ with stronger ligand hence delta o is much higher
final is Ru 3+ with stronger lignad where Ru has 4d6 orbital delta o is much higher ( as 5d>4d>3d which causes delta o higher)
hence order is
smallest [Cr(OH6)]3- < [Co(NH3)6]3+ < [Cr(NO2)6]3- < [Ru(NO2)6 ] 3-
