To arrange the complexes `[Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺`, `[Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺`, and `[FeCl₆]⁴⁻` in order of increasing crystal field splitting, we need to consider the following factors: 1. **Nature of the Ligands**: The ligands in these complexes influence the extent of crystal field splitting. Water (H₂O) is a weak field ligand, while chloride (Cl⁻) is an even weaker field ligand. Therefore, the complex with chloride will have the smallest crystal field splitting. 2. **Oxidation State of the Metal Ion**: The oxidation state of the metal ion also affects the crystal field splitting. A higher oxidation state leads to a greater positive charge, which increases the attraction between the metal ion and the ligands, resulting in larger splitting. Now, let's analyze the given complexes: ...
