As we have learned

Weak field Ligand -

These are the ligands which do not pair the electron in inner d-orbital.

- wherein

For example: N_{2}O, F^{-}, Cl^{-} etc    

 

 

  In presence of weak ligand field, there will be no pairing of electrons. So it will form a high spin complex. i.e. the number of unpaired electrons = 5.
