Strong-Field vs Weak-Field Ligands definitions Flashcards

Energy difference between lower and higher orbitals in a metal complex influenced by ligand type.

A coordination compound where a central metal atom is surrounded by six ligands.

Ligands that cause a large energy gap between orbitals, leading to a large crystal field splitting energy.

Ligands that result in a small energy gap between orbitals, causing a small crystal field splitting energy.

Orbitals that have the same energy level, often seen with weak-field ligands.

A strong-field ligand known for creating the largest crystal field splitting energy.

A weak-field ligand associated with the smallest crystal field splitting energy.

A strong-field ligand that contributes to a large crystal field splitting energy.

A strong-field ligand that increases the crystal field splitting energy.

Elements in group 7A, often weak-field ligands, ordered from fluorine to iodine.

A halogen and weak-field ligand, part of the order from strong to weak ligands.

A halogen and weak-field ligand, following fluorine in ligand strength.

A halogen and weak-field ligand, positioned before iodine in ligand strength.

A weak-field ligand that precedes halogens in the order of ligand strength.

A strong-field ligand contributing to a large crystal field splitting energy.
