Two complexes [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 (a) and [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 (b) are violet and yellow coloured, respectively. The incorrect statement regarding them is

Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

∆₀ values of (a) and (b) are calculated from the energies of violet and yellow light, respectively

TuteeHUB · Answer

∆₀ value for (a) is less than that of (b).

TuteeHUB · Answer

Both absorb energies corresponding to their complementary colours.

TuteeHUB · Answer

Both are paramagnetic with three unpaired electrons
