Step 1
The series is as follows: I- < Br- < Cl- < F- < OH- < H2O < NH3 < en < NO2- < CN- < CO Now, we can order the given ligands based on their position in the spectrochemical series: Show more…

What is the correct arrangement of the ligands, Br-, CO, H2O and NH3 in the spectrochemical series, going from weakest field, to strongest field ligand? CO = H2O < NH3 < Br- Br- < H2O < NH3 < CO CO < H2O < NH3 < Br- CO < NH3 < Br- < H2O H2O < CO < Br- < NH3

If NH3 is a strong field ligand, rank the following in order of decreasing number of unpaired d-electrons: [Co(NH3)6]2+ [Co(NH3)6]3+ [Cr(NH3)6]3+ [Cr(NH3)6]3+ > [Co(NH3)6]2+ > [Co(NH3)6]3+ [Co(NH3)6]2+ > [Cr(NH3)6]3+ > [Co(NH3)6]3+ [Co(NH3)6]3+ > [Co(NH3)6]2+ > [Cr(NH3)6]3+ [Co(NH3)6]2+ > [Co(NH3)6]3+ > [Cr(NH3)6]3+ [Cr(NH3)6]3+ > [Co(NH3)6]3+ > [Co(NH3)6]2+"
