Select the correct order of CFSE :- (1) [Ni(en)2]+2 > [Ni (dmg)2] (2) [Co(EDTA)]– > [Co(en)3]+3 (3) [NiF4]2– > [NiCl4]2– (4) [Co(OX)3]3– > [Co(en)2Cl2]+ Share with your friends Share 3 Vartika Jain answered this Dear Student, (1) In both the compounds, Ni exists as Ni2+, bt dmg is a stronger field ligand than en annd therefore, CFSE of [Ni(dmg)2] will be greater than [Ni(en)2]2+.(2) Co exists as Co3+ in both the compounds. However, EDTA is a stronger ligand than en, so CFSE of [Co(EDTA)]- must be greater than [Co(en)3]3+(3) F is a stronger field ligand than Cl. So, [NiF4]2- will have higher CFSE than [NiCl4]2-.(4) ox is a weaker ligand than en, therefore, [Co(en)2Cl2]+ will have higher CFSE than [Co(ox)3]3-. Hence, the correct order is of (2) and (3) 0 View Full Answer
