    Homoleptic octahedral complexes of a metal ion \[{{M}^{3+}}\] with three monodentate ligands \[{{L}_{1}},\text{ }{{L}_{2}}and\text{ }{{L}_{3}}\] absorb wavelengths in the region of green, blue and red respectively. The increasing order of the ligand strength is- [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09-Jan-2019 Evening]

    A) \[{{L}_{3}}<{{L}_{2}}<{{L}_{1}}\]                          

    B) \[{{L}_{3}}<{{L}_{1}}<{{L}_{2}}\]

    C) \[{{L}_{1}}<{{L}_{2}}<{{L}_{3}}\]                          

    D) \[{{L}_{2}}<{{L}_{1}}<{{L}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Order of \[{{\lambda }_{absorbed}}\] = Red > Green > Blue (corresponding to \[{{L}_{3}}>{{L}_{1}}>{{L}_{2}}\]) \[\left[ {{\Delta }_{0}}\propto \,\frac{1}{{{\lambda }_{abs}}} \right]\] \[\therefore \] Order of \[{{\Delta }_{0}}\] will be \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{{L}_{2}}>{{L}_{1}}>{{L}_{3}}\]
