According to Ligand field theory ; the π-acceptor ligands are the stronger ligand and the π-donating ligand is a weak field ligand. here, we know that NH3 is a π-donor in comparison to the CO which is a π-acceptor ligand.
The field created by the Ligand CO is stronger than the ligand NH3. Consequently the splitting of d-orbital created by CO is larger than the NH3. Hence CO is more stronger ligand than the NH3.
