Simplified absorption spectra of three complexes ((i), (ii) and (iii)) of $\mathrm{M}^{\mathrm{n}+}$ ion are provided below; their $\lambda_{\max }$ values are marked as A, B and C respectively. The correct match between the complexes and their $\lambda_{\max }$ values is :
(i) $\left[\mathrm{M}(\mathrm{NCS})_{6}\right]^{(-6+n)}$
(ii) $\left[\mathrm{MF}_{6}\right]^{(-6+n)}$
(iii) $\left[\mathrm{M}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{n+}$
Correct Option: 1
Stronger the ligand greater is splitting of $d$ orbitals and smaller will be wavelength of light absorbed.
According to spectrochemical series, the splitting power of ligands is $\mathrm{NH}_{3}>\mathrm{NC} \overline{\mathrm{S}}>\mathrm{F}^{-}$.Thus, order of wavelength of light absorbed is $\lambda_{\mathrm{NH}_{3}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{NCS}}<\lambda_{\mathrm{F}^{-}}$
