Chromium (III) Complexes

$(\mathbf{en} =$ ethylene diamine $)$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

A.A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
B.A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
C.A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
D.A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: $\Delta_{0}$ (CFSE) follows ligand-field strength: ${CN}^{-} > en > H_{2}O > F^{-}$.]

CFSE is proportional to strength of ligand followed by chelation.

${CN}^{-}$is stronger ligand than en

$${CN}^{-} > en > H_{2}O > F^{-} $$
