Question

The cfse for octahedral (cocl6)4- is 18000 cm-1 the tetrahedral cfse of (cocl4)-2 is

Answer 1

Hey dear,
CFSE stands for Crystal Field Stabilization Energy.

● Answer- 8000 /cm

● Explanation-
# Given-
∆o = 18000 /cm

# Solution-
We know the formula for tetrahedral CFSE-
∆t = 4/9 ∆o
∆t = 4/9 × 18000
∆t = 4 × 2000
∆t = 8000 /cm

Therefore CFSE for tetrahedral [CoCl4]2- is 8000 /cm.

Hope this is useful.
