The correct order of the wavelength of light absorbed by the following complexes is,A. B. C. D. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Wavelength of light absorbed () is inversely proportional to the crystal field splitting energy (), which depends on the field strength of the ligands.Field strength order: .For the same metal (Co), (B) has a higher and thus a lower than (A). So, .For aqua complexes, (D) has a higher oxidation state and splitting than (C).Considering the metal ion and ligand strength together, the order of increasing wavelength is .
