Correct increasing order for the wavelengths of absorption in the visible region for the complexes of Co is
Co(HO)Co(en)Co(NH
Co(HO)Co(NHCo(en)
Co(NHCo(en)Co(HO)
Co(en)Co(NHCo(HO)
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between ligand field strength and the wavelength of absorption in the visible region for complexes.The wavelength of absorption is inversely proportional to the energy difference between the and orbitals.Stronger field ligands increase resulting in shorter wavelengths of absorption.Let's analyze the ligands in the given complexes:• HO is a weak field ligand.• NH is a stronger field ligand than HO• en (ethylenediamine) is a bidentate ligand and a stronger field ligand than NHTherefore, the increasing order of ligand field strength is:HONHenThis implies the increasing order of the wavelengths of absorption is:Co(en)Co(NHCo(HO)Thus, the correct increasing order for the wavelengths of absorption is:Option 4: Co(en)Co(NHCo(HO)
