\(E=\frac{hc}{λ}⇒E∝\frac{1}{λ}\)
\(⇒Δ(CFSE)∝\frac{1}{λ_{absorb}} 1∝ \)strength of ligand.
What will be the equilibrium constant of the given reaction carried out in a \(5 \,L\) vessel and having equilibrium amounts of \(A_2\) and \(A\) as \(0.5\) mole and \(2 \times 10^{-6}\) mole respectively?
The reaction : \(A_2 \rightleftharpoons 2A\)

Cobalt chloride when dissolved in water forms pink colored complex $X$ which has octahedral geometry. This solution on treating with cone $HCl$ forms deep blue complex, $\underline{Y}$ which has a $\underline{Z}$ geometry $X, Y$ and $Z$, respectively, are

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.
A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.
A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
