The stability constant of the complexes formed by a metal ion (M2+) with NH3, CN−, H2O and en are of the order 10^11, 10^27, 10^15 and 10^8 respectively. Then –
A
en is the strongest ligand
B
CN− is the strongest ligand
C
The strength of the ligands has not relationship with given values
D
all ligands are equally strong
Explanation
Larger stability constant indicates stronger ligand-metal interaction.
