just like H20 is one of the strongest in weak field ligands, nh3 is one of the weak ones in SFL
well you may study this under exceptional cases or limitations of VBT here NH3 behaves as weak ligand altho it is strong
its case is similar to Ni(CO)4 where CO being the strongest ligand it still makes sp3
Can cft explain this?
yeah probably
we good?
Hmm, should i just remember it as an exceptional case then?
@PeriodicTable ji your doubt got solved ?
Yes yes
