The wavelength of light absorbed is highest in

Question 1

(a) [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+

(b) [Co(NH3)5H2O]3+

(c) [Co(NH3)6]3+

(d) [Co(en)3]3+

Question 2

The correct option is (a) [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ .

Explanation:

As in complex [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ Cl- is present as ligand which is weakest among ligands present in other complexes, so it requires less energy for excitation. Thus, the wavelength of light absorbed will be highest (i.e., E ∝ l/λ).
