Question

which complex has dsp2 hybridization of the central metal atom (A)[Fe(co)5] (B) [Ni(CO)4] (C) [Ni(CN)4]²- (D)[Cr(H2o)6]3+

Answer 1

trong field and weak field ligands are semi-empirical concepts from crystal field theory. In short, weak field ligands (e.g. F-, Cl-, OH-, H2O) will result in lower splitting of the d-orbitals of the metal in the center of a complex, while strong field ligands (e.g. NH3, CN-, NO+, CO) will result in larger splitting.
