A d1 octahedral complex is found to absorb visible light, with the absorption maximum occurring at 509 nm. Calculate the crystal-field splitting energy, δ , in kj/mol

Respuesta :

The crystal field theory accounts for the color of transition metal ions on the bases of splitting of d orbitals. The energy of the crystal-field splitting is 235kJ/mol.

What is crystal field splitting energy?

The crystal field theory accounts for the color of transition metal ions on the bases of splitting of d orbitals. The energy of the spliting is obtained from the wavelength in the visible spectrum.

Now the wavelength is  509 nm hence the energy is obtained from;

E = 6.6 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/509 * 10^-9 * 6.02 * 10^23/1 mol * 1/1000 kJ

= 235kJ/mol
