Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The coordination compound exhibits color, the reason to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Crystal field theory:

Bonding in coordination compounds accounts for the magnetic property and color of the complex ion.

Crystal field theory is explained in terms of electrostatic interaction of between metal ion and ligands.

Crystal field splitting: The energy gap between the splitting of d-orbitals of the metal ion in presence of ligands is known as the crystal field splitting (Δ). The magnitude of (Δ) is depends on the nature of metal ions and the ligands.

Spectrochemical series: The list of ligands arranged in an ascending order of (Δ)(the splitting of d-orbitals in presence of various ligands).
