The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is (A) : A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV

LIST I Coordination entityLIST II Wavelength of light absorbed in nm
A\([CoCl(NH_3​)_5​]^{2+}\)I535
B\([Co(NH_3​)_6​]^{3+}\)II475
C\([Co(CN)_6​]^{3−}\)III310
D\([Cu(H_2​O)_4​]^{2+}\)IV600

\(E=\frac{hc}{λ}​⇒E∝\frac{1}{λ}\)
\(⇒Δ(CFSE)∝\frac{1}{λ_{absorb}} ​1​∝ \)strength of ligand.

Concepts Used:

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
