The correct Answer is:
To determine the order of Δ₀ (the crystal field splitting energy) for the given complex ions based on their absorption maxima (λ_max), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Relationship Between λ_max and Δ₀ The energy associated with the absorption of light is inversely proportional to the wavelength of that light. This means: \[ E \propto \frac{1}{\lambda_{\text{max}}} \] Where: - E is the energy of the absorbed light. - λ_max is the wavelength of the light absorbed. ### Step 2: List the Complex Ions and Their λ_max Values We are given the following complex ions with their corresponding λ_max values: 1. [CrCl₆]³⁻: λ_max = 758 nm 2. [Cr(NH₃)₆]³⁺: λ_max = 465 nm 3. [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺: λ_max = 694 nm ### Step 3: Determine the Order of Δ₀ Based on λ_max Since energy is inversely proportional to λ_max, we can determine the order of Δ₀ by looking at the λ_max values: - For [CrCl₆]³⁻ (758 nm), the energy is the lowest (Δ₀ is the lowest). - For [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺ (694 nm), the energy is moderate (Δ₀ is moderate). - For [Cr(NH₃)₆]³⁺ (465 nm), the energy is the highest (Δ₀ is the highest). ### Step 4: Write the Order of Δ₀ From the above analysis, we can conclude: \[ \Delta_0(\text{NH}_3) > \Delta_0(\text{H}_2O) > \Delta_0(\text{Cl}^-) \] Thus, the order of Δ₀ is: \[ \Delta_0(\text{II}) > \Delta_0(\text{III}) > \Delta_0(\text{I}) \] ### Step 5: Choose the Correct Option Based on our findings, the correct order corresponds to option (d): \[ \Delta_0(III) > \Delta_0(II) > \Delta_0(I) \] ### Final Answer The correct order of Δ₀ for the given complex ions is: (d) Δ₀(III) > Δ₀(II) > Δ₀(I) ---
