Welcome to Chem Zipper.com......: Which of the Complex of the following pairs has the largest value of CFSE? (1) [Co(CN)6]3- and [Co(NH3)6]3+ (2) [Co(NH3)6]3+ and [CoF6]3- (3) [Co(H2O)6]3+ and [Rh(H2O)6]3+ (4) [Co(H2O)6]2+ and [Co(H2O)6]3+

Which of the Complex of the following pairs has the largest value of CFSE? (1) [Co(CN)6]3- and [Co(NH3)6]3+ (2) [Co(NH3)6]3+ and [CoF6]3- (3) [Co(H2O)6]3+ and [Rh(H2O)6]3+ (4) [Co(H2O)6]2+ and [Co(H2O)6]3+

(1)  CN is the stronger ligand than NH3 therefore CFSE of [Co(CN)6]3-  will be more than  [Co(NH3)6]3+

(2) NH3 is stronger ligand than F therefore CFSE of [Co(NH3)6]3+ will be more than [CoF6]3-.
(3) Co belongs to 3d series whereas The Rh belong to 4d series. More the value of n more is CFSE therefore CFSE of 
[Rh(H2O)6]3+  is more than [Co(H2O)6]3+ .
(4) Oxidation number of Co  in [Co(H2O)6]3+ is more than the Oxidation number of [Co(H2O)6]2+  therefore, CFSE of
[Co(H2O)6]3+ is more than  [Co(H2O)6]2+.
