    Which of the following ligand has lowest A, value?

    A)  \[C{{N}^{-}}\]                  

    B)  \[CO\]

    C)  \[{{F}^{-}}\]                                      

    D)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    The value of \[{{\Delta }_{o}}\] depends upon the splitting of d-orbitals by the ligand. On the basis of splitting power ligands are arranged in a series, called petrochemical series. \[{{I}^{-}}<B{{r}^{-}}<C{{l}^{-}}<{{F}^{-}}<O{{X}^{-}}\approx {{H}_{2}}O<py\]       \[\approx N{{H}_{3}}<en<NO_{2}^{-}<C{{N}^{-}}<CO\] Hence \[{{F}^{-}}\]has the lowest \[{{\Delta }_{o}}\]value.
