Which of the following cannot be explained by crystal field theory?
Select the correct option:
A
The order of spectrochemical series
B
Magnetic properties of transition metal complexes
C
Colour of metal complexes
D
Stability of metal complexes
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
Crystal field theory introduce spectrochemical series based upon the experimental values of $\Delta$ but can't explain it's order. While other three points are explained by CFT. Specially when the CFSE increases thermodynamic stability of the complex increases.
