In Spectrochemical series , chorine is above than water . I .e ` Cl gt H_(2) O` this is due to

A

Good `pi - acceptor properties of Cl

B

Strong σ-donor and good π-acceptor properties of Cl

C

Good π-donor properties of Cl

D

Larger size of Cl than `H_2O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When ligands are arranged in ascending order of crystal field splitting energy, ∆ they produced a spectrochemical series. In comparison to `H_2O, Cl` is strong σ donor and good π acceptor, therefore, it is a stronger ligand than `H_2O` . Hence, in the spectrochemical series, Cl is above than water.
