The order of energy absorbed which is responsible for the color of complexes is given for:Ni(HenNi(HenNi(en). Choose the correct order:
To solve this problem, we need to understand the factors affecting the color of complexes, specifically the energy absorbed due to d-d transitions.The energy absorbed is related to the ligand field strength, which is influenced by the ligands present in the complex.Given complexes:(A) Ni(Hen(B) Ni(Hen(C) Ni(en)The ligands involved are:⢠H (a weak field ligand)⢠en (ethylenediamine, a strong field ligand)The strength of the ligand field affects the splitting of the d-orbitals, which in turn affects the energy absorbed.⢠More strong field ligands lead to greater splitting and higher energy absorption.Analyzing the complexes:⢠Complex (A) has 2 H and 2 en ligands.⢠Complex (B) has 4 H and 1 en ligand.⢠Complex (C) has 3 en ligands.Order of ligand field strength:enHTherefore, the order of energy absorbed is determined by the number of strong field ligands (en):⢠Complex (C) has the highest number of en ligands, leading to the highest energy absorption.⢠Complex (A) has more en ligands than complex (B), leading to higher energy absorption than (B).Thus, the correct order of energy absorbed is:C > A > BThis corresponds to Option 3.
