Simplified absorption spectra of three complexes ((i) and (ii) and (iii)) of M+n ion are provided below; their λmax values are marked as A, B and C respectively. The correct match between the complexes and their λmax values is:

(i) [M(NCS)6](–6 + n)                (ii) [MF6](–6 + n)            (iii) [M(NH3)6]n+

A-(ii), (B)-(iii), C-(i)

A-(iii), (B)-(i), C-(ii)

A-(ii), (B)-(i), C-(iii)

A-(i), (B)-(ii), C-(iii)

Stronger the ligand greater is splitting of d orbitals and smaller will be wave length of light absorbed. The splitting power of ligands is NH3<NCS¯<F

So order of wave length of light absorbed is λNH3<λNCS¯<λF
