Chapter 19, Problem 19.51

(choose chapter or problem)

Solutions of [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 are yellow, but Cr(NH3)6 31 does not absorb yellow light. Why? What color light is absorbed by Cr(NH3)6 31? What is the spectrochemical series, and how can the study of light absorbed by various complex ions be used to develop this series? Would you expect Co(NH3)6 21 to absorb light of a longer or shorter wavelength than Co(NH3)6 31? Explain.
