The correct order of the following complexes in terms of their crystal field stabilization energies is:
Show Hint
- \( [\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{2+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_4]^{2+}<[\text{Co(en)}_3]^{3+} \)
- \( [\text{Co(en)}_3]^{3+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{2+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_4]^{2+} \)
- \( [\text{Co(NH}_3)_4]^{2+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{2+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+}<[\text{Co(en)}_3]^{3+} \)
- \( [\text{Co(NH}_3)_4]^{2+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{2+}<[\text{Co(en)}_3]^{3+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+} \)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) depends on the oxidation state and the ligand field strength.
Generally:
- The higher the oxidation state of the metal, the stronger the ligand field and the higher the CFSE.
- \( \text{NH}_3 \) is a stronger field ligand than \( \text{en} \) (ethylenediamine).
Thus: - \( [\text{Co(NH}_3)_4]^{2+} \) will have the lowest CFSE, as it is in a lower oxidation state.
- \( [\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{2+} \) has a higher CFSE compared to \( [\text{Co(NH}_3)_4]^{2+} \).
- \( [\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+} \) has a higher oxidation state, leading to higher CFSE.
- \( [\text{Co(en)}_3]^{3+} \) has the highest CFSE due to the strong ligand field of \( \text{en} \).
Hence, the correct order is:
\[[\text{Co(NH}_3)_4]^{2+} < [\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{2+}<[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+} < [\text{Co(en)}_3]^{3+}\]Top JEE Main Chemistry Questions

- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
