Question

Identify the correct relationship correlating ligand field strength ($\Delta$) with the principal quantum number ($n$) of the transition metal's d-orbitals.

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. Heavier metals have more diffuse d-orbitals that interact more strongly with ligands. Thus, increases significantly down a group: [27, 53].
