Question

limitations of crystal filed theory​

Answer 1

Answer:

• The assumption that the interaction between metal-ligand is purely electrostatic cannot be said to be completely true.

• This theory takes only d-orbitals of a central atom into account. The s and p orbits are not considered.

• The theory fails to explain the behavior of certain metals which cause large splitting while others show small splitting.

• The theory rules out the possibility of having p bonding. This is a serious drawback because p bonding is found in many complexes.

• The theory gives no significance to the orbits of the ligands. Therefore it cannot explain any properties related to ligand orbitals and their interaction with metal orbitals.\
