Question

Given below are two statements:
Assertion A:  absorbs at lower wavelength of light with respect to .
Reason R: It is because the wavelength of light absorbed depends on the oxidation state of the metal ion.
Choose the correct answer:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 The wavelength of absorbed light is inversely proportional to the crystal field splitting energy (), which in turn depends on the ligand field strength and the oxidation state of the metal ion.

Step 1: Evaluate Assertion (A)
-  contains  (Wait,  is  here because  is 0 and  is . Let's recheck: if overall charge is , ). Okay,  with  and .
-  contains  with  and .
Since  is a stronger field ligand than , the  for  is greater than for . Higher energy splitting means it absorbs higher ene
