"stronger the ligand shorter the wavelength". Plzzzz explain.
Identify the correct order of wavelength of light absorbed for the following complex ions-
[Co(H2O6)]+3, [Co(CN)6]-3, [Co(en)3]+3, [Co(I)6]-3

depends on the strength of the ligands ( I forgot that plz,.... check NCERT book)... stronger the ligand shorter the wavelength.(plz check NCERT its given there)..
i guess ans should be d>a>b>c

dentify the correct order of wavelength of light absorbed for the following complex ions-
[Co(H2O6)]+3, [Co(CN)6]-3, [Co(en)3]+3, [Co(I)6]-3
Answer Is-[Co(CN)6]-3<[Co(en)3]+3<[Co(H2O6)]+3<[Co(I)6]-3
CN Is Strong Field Ligand So High Energy And Therefore Low Wavelength
