Identify the incorrect statement regarding the factors affecting octahedral crystal field splitting energy (Δo):
Verified Solution4 OptionsUpdated: October 2026👁️1 View
Share:
- 1For analogous complexes of metals down a group with the same ligands, the splitting energy increases as the principal quantum number of the d-orbitals increases.
- 2A metal ion with a higher oxidation state causes larger crystal field splitting.
- 3Smaller anionic ligands with lower charge density always produce smaller splitting than larger ligands.✓
- 4Ligands with a higher negative charge density generally cause larger crystal field splitting.
Correct answer
Smaller anionic ligands with lower charge density always produce smaller splitting than larger ligands.
