Question
Which of the following cannot be explained by crystal field theory ? (A) Magnetic properties of trtansition metal complexes (B) The order of spectrochemical series (C) Colour of metal complexes (D) Stability of metal complexes
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
CFT is used to explain many of the properties of coordination complex like the stability of complex, colour, magnetic properties of the complex and spin of the complex. While size of splitting () and the strength of ligand which decide spectro chemical series is explain by ligand field theory which is not explained by crystal field theory.
