1)

Which one of the following  statement is correct  for $d^{4}$ ions [P= pairing energy]


A) When $\triangle_{0} $>P, low-spin complex form

B) When $\triangle _{0}$ <P, low-spin complex form

C) When $\triangle _{0} $ >P, high -spin complex form

D) When $\triangle _{0} $< P, both high -spin and low-spin complex form

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

When value of $\triangle_{0}$ is greater than pairing energy , pairing  of electron takes place  hence low-spin complexes are formed
