Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spectrochemical series orders ligands based on their ability to split d-orbital energies in transition metal complexes. NO (nitrosyl) is known to be a strong field ligand, placing it higher in the spectrochemical series compared to oxalate (ox), bromide (Br-), hydroxide (OH-), and ammonia (NH3).
