Question

Why is co a strong field ligand than nh3 in complex

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to Ligand field theory;the π-acceptor ligands are the stronger ligand & the π-donating ligand is weak field ligand,Here we know that NH3 is aπ-donor in composition to the CO which is a π-acceptor ligand.

Answer 2

Answer:

➡ The field created by the Ligand CO is stronger than the ligand NH3. Consequently the splitting of d-orbital created by CO is larger than the NH3. Hence CO is more stronger ligand than the NH3.
