How can we arrange the ligands in the order of stregth and explain the rule for that one ?

Dear student,

The spectrochemical series in the increasing order of CFT is as
I- < Br-< Cl-< No3-< F-< OH-< Ox2-< H2O < EDTA < py = NH < en < dipy < o- Phen < NO2- < CN- < CO
The ligands on LHS are Weak field ligands & the one on RHS are strong field ligands.
