Understanding +4 | -1

The correct statement among I to III are :
I. Valence bond theory cannot explain the color exhibited by transition metal complexes.
II. Valence bond theory can predict quantitatively the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes.
III. Valence bond theory cannot distinguish ligands as week and strong field ones.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

I and III only

Option D (I and III only) is correct because Valence Bond Theory (VBT) fails to explain color and cannot distinguish between weak and strong field ligands.
