Which complex is more stable, $\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$ or $\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right]^{3+} ? \mathrm{Why} ?$
For which member of the following pairs of complexes would $\Delta_{\infty \text { t }}$ be the larger and why: (a) $\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{OH}_{2}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{OH}_{2}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+} ;$ (b) $\left[\mathrm{Cr} \mathrm{F}_{6}\right]^{3-}$ and $\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$ (c) $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{4-}$ and $\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-} ;$ (d) $\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{OH}_{2}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right]^{2+}$ (e) $\left[\mathrm{MnF}_{6}\right]^{2-}$ and $\left[\mathrm{ReF}_{6}\right]^{2-}$ (f) $\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right]^{3+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{Rh}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right]^{3+} ?$
