The correct statement among I to III are:
(I) Valence bond theory cannot explain the color exhibited by transition metal complexes
(II) Valence bond theory can predict quantitatively the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes
(III) Valence bond theory cannot distinguish ligands as weak and strong field ones

A

(I),(II) and (III)

B

(I) and (II) only

C

(I) and (III) only

D

(II) and (III) only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to the postulates of VBT we can’t predict the magnetic properties of complexes, it can’t distinguish ligands as weak and strong field thus is not able to explain colour of complexes.
