is EDTA is strong field ligand?
The ligand's electrons interact with the electrons of the d orbitals, the electrostatic interactions cause the energy levels of the d-orbital to fluctuate depending on the orientation and the nature of the ligands. For example, the oxidation state and the strength of the ligands determine splitting; the higher the oxidation state or the stronger the ligand, the larger the splitting.
Ligands are classified as strong or weak based on the spectrochemical series:
I- < Br- < Cl- < SCN- < F- < OH- < ox2-< ONO- < H2O < SCN- < EDTA4- < NH3 < en < NO2- < CN-
