purely electrostatic i.e. bonding is due to ionion attraction if ligand is ionic or ion-dipole
attraction if ligand is neutral.

Example Problems
1. Calculate CFSE for [Cr(H2O)6]2+. Given P = 23500 cm-1 and =
13900 cm-1. What will be CFSE for low spin configuration?
2. Enthalpy of hydration of Cr2+ is -460 kcal/mol. In absence of
CFSE, the value of H is -435 kcal/mol. Estimate for [Cr(H2O)6]2+.
