Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following compounds is a strong field ligand?
  • Step 1: Understand what a ligand is. A ligand is a molecule or ion that can bond to a central metal atom to form a complex.
  • Step 2: Learn about strong field ligands. Strong field ligands are those that cause a large splitting of the d-orbitals in transition metal complexes.
  • Step 3: Identify the ligand in the question. The ligand given is CN- (cyanide).
  • Step 4: Recall the properties of CN-. CN- is known to be a strong field ligand.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since CN- causes large splitting of d-orbitals, it is indeed a strong field ligand.
