Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br>what is the most important factor in determining climate
cestrela7 [59]

The correct answer is - latitude.

The latitude in many ways is the most important factor in determining the climate of a place. The reason for that is mostly the shape of the planet, which doesn't allow the Sun light to be equally distributed on all of its surface. The lower the latitude, the more direct and more concentrated the Sun light, thus the place will be warmer. The higher the latitude, the sharper the angle of the fall of the Sun light, thus more dispersed Sun light, which will result in a much colder climate.
