Question
Using Crystal Field Theory, answer the following question.
Predict, with explanation, the relative magnitude of wavelengths of the observed colours of the following complex ions: [CuBr6]3-, [Cu(H2O)6]3+, [Cu(CO)6]3+.
In each case, state whether the complex would be high-spin or low-spin by drawing their d-orbital electronic configurations.
