Question

Mark the incorrect statement regarding the stability of the complexes is:

• A. Higher the charge density on the central ion, greater is the stability of the complex
• B. Higher the oxidation state of metal, higher is the stability of the complex
• C. Higher the basicity of the ligand, higher is the stability of the complex
• D. More the chelation tendency of ligand, lower is the stability of the complex

Answer 1

The correct option is D More the chelation tendency of ligand, lower is the stability of the complex

More the chelation tendency, more is the stability of complex because entropy decrease as chelation occurs and stability increases.
