                    In which of the following octahedral complex species the magnitude of \[{{\Delta }_{0}}\] will be maximum?     JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 25  April 2013 )

    A)                 \[{{\left[ \text{Co}\left( {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\operatorname{O}}_{6}} \right) \right]}^{2+}}\]             

    B)                                        \[{{\left[ \text{Co}\left( \operatorname{C}{{\operatorname{N}}_{6}} \right) \right]}^{3+}}\]

    C)                                        \[{{\left[ \text{Co}{{\left( {{\operatorname{C}}_{2}}{{O}_{4}} \right)}_{3}} \right]}^{3-}}\]           

    D)                                        \[{{\left[ \text{Co}{{\left( \operatorname{N}{{\operatorname{H}}_{3}} \right)}_{6}} \right]}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Crystal field splitting depends upon the nature of ligand. The nature of ligand\[\Delta \] decreases as shown below \[{{C}_{2}}O_{4}^{--}<{{H}_{2}}O<N{{H}_{3}}<C{{N}^{-}}\] hence the crystal field splitting will be maximum for \[{{[Co{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{3-}}\]
