As the value of the crystal field splitting, $\Delta$_o, increases from one complex ion to another, ________

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the crystal field splitting increases, the energy gap between the d orbitals increases. This means that more energy is required to excite an electron from the lower d orbitals to the higher d orbitals, resulting in absorption of light of shorter wavelengths. Therefore, the wavelength of absorbed light decreases as the crystal field splitting increases.
