[Co(CN)₆]³⁻ → Yellow
[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ → Orange
[CoF₆]³⁻ → Blue
Explanation:
- All the given compounds have octahedral geometry but the ligand in each are different with the same metal ion.
- Ligands strength order: CN⁻ > NH₃ > F⁻
- The ligand CN will act as a strong field ligand so that the splitting is maximum when compared to NH₃ and F⁻
- If the splitting is more, the energy required for transition is more, and the wavelength is inversely proportional to energy.
- So CN complex will absorb at lower wavelength (yellow color)
The atoms are constantly in motion
Higher concentration of reactants equals faster rate of reaction. Reactions occur when particles collide effectively, and by increasing the concentration of reactants, you increase the number of effective collisions, thereby making the reaction occur faster.
