According to crystal field theory, the correct order of ligands with respect to their decreasing order of field strength is
Options
A.$\ {Cl}^{-} > H_{2}O > {NH}_{3} > CO$
B.${Cl}^{-} > {NH}_{3} > H_{2}O > CO$
C.$CO > {NH}_{3} > H_{2}O > {Cl}^{-}$
D.$CO > H_{2}O > {NH}_{3} > {Cl}^{-}$
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Crystal-field theory — the spectrochemical series]
