Vedclass · Answer

(C) Valence Bond Theory $(VBT)$ is fundamentally qualitative in nature.It successfully explains the geometry and magnetic properties (diamagnetic or paramagnetic) based on hybridization, but it fails to provide a quantitative interpretation of magnetic data, such as calculating the exact magnetic moment.It also does not distinguish between strong and weak ligands (a concept addressed by Crystal Field Theory).Crucially, $VBT$ fails to explain the electronic spectra or the colours exhibited by coordination compounds.Therefore, the statement that it explains the colour of coordination compounds is incorrect and not applicable to the theory.

Which of the following statements is not applicable to Valence Bond Theory?
