Answer:
NH3>H2O>Cl-
Explanation:
The given wavelengths of maximum absorption for each complex can be used to estimate the magnitude of field splitting of the respective ligands as shown in the image attached. The field splitting is reported in the unit kilojoule per mole (KJmol-1).
It can be seen from the calculation in the image attached that ammonia shows the highest crystal field splitting followed by water and lastly the chloride anion. This corresponds to the respective positions of these species in the spectrochemical series. Water and the chloride ion are weak field ligands.
