Concept introduction:
Coordination compounds: The compounds having coordination covalent bonds which form when metal ions react with polar molecules or anions
Visible region: The
Absorption spectrum: It is an electromagnetic spectrum where the radiation transmitted via substance shows bands as a result of absorbing intensity of radiation at specific wavelength.
The strong field ligands lead to splitting to a higher extent than the weak field ligands and the wavelength of light absorbed depends on the energy gap that is produced by a particular ligand.
