Best answer

Limitations of VB – Theory: 

1. It does not explain the colour of the complex 

2. It considers only the spin only magnetic moments and does not consider the other components of magnetic moments. 

3. It does not provide a quantitative explanation as to why certain complexes are inner orbital complexes and the others are outer orbital complexes for the same metal. For example, [Fe(CN6)]4- is diamagnetic (low spin) whereas [Fe(CN6)]4- is paramagnetic (high spin).
