Question

limitations of valence bond theory

Answer 1

HEYA..!!!

It fails to explain the tetravalency of carbon.This theory does not discuss energies of electrons.The assumptions about the electrons being localized to specific locations.

hope it helps :)

Answer 2

valence bond theory
• does not explain the colour of the complexes
• it does not explain the magnetic properties of the complex
• it does not differentiate between strong field and weak field ligands
• it does not explain if the geometry is tetrahedral or square planar of the coordination no. is 4
• it does not explain the kinetics and thermodynamic stability
