उत्तर
| S.No. | Weak Field Ligand | Strong Field Ligand |
| 1. | A ligand that produces a small splitting of the d-orbitals in the central metal ion. | A ligand that produces a large splitting of the d-orbitals in the central metal ion. |
| 2. | These are the ligands used in octahedral complexes in which the crystal field stabilization energy Δ° is less than the pairing energy (P) in a single orbital. | These are the ligands used in octahedral complexes in which the crystal field stabilization energy Δ° is greater than the pairing energy (P). |
| 3. | Complexes formed by these ligands are also known as high-spin complexes. | Complexes formed by these ligands are also known as low-spin complexes |
| 4. | The complexes formed are generally paramagnetic. | The complexes formed are mostly diamagnetic or relatively less paramagnetic. |
| 5. | Examples of weak field ligands include I−, Br−, Cl−, and H2O. | Examples of strong field ligands include NH3, CN−, Co. |
