Which of the following is the correct order of increasing field strength of ligands to form coordination compounds?
To solve this problem, we need to determine the correct order of increasing field strength of ligands.The field strength of ligands is determined by the spectrochemical series, which ranks ligands based on their ability to split the d-orbitals of a metal ion.The spectrochemical series for some common ligands is as follows:IBrSSCNClFOHCOHONHenCNCOFrom this series, we can identify the order of field strength for the given ligands:⢠SCN is weaker than F⢠F is weaker than CO⢠CO is weaker than CNThus, the correct order of increasing field strength is:SCNFCOCNThis corresponds to Option 4.
