The strength of a ligand actually depends upon the metal atom to which it is coordinated to.
But to an extent,the strength of a ligand can be found out relating to its electronegativity.If a species is highly electronegative it has less tendency to donate e-s and thus is a weak field ligand. and vice versa . 
2- u can diffrentiate it with the help of spectrachemical series also , which enlist the ligand on the besis of their strength . 
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT
