As we learnt in 

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    

 

 

 \left [ Cr(H_{2}O)_{6} \right ]^{3+}

Electronic configuration of Cr3+ : 3d3 4s0

H2O is a weak field Ligand

Therefore we have
