Which of the following is the strongest ligand?

What are the exceptions to Crystal Field Theory (CFT) ?

Crystal Field Theory takes only d-orbitals of a central atom into account. The s and p orbits are not considered for the study.

Crystal Field Theory fails to explain the behaviour of certain metals which cause large splitting while others show small splitting.
