In an octahedral complex, which set of orbitals experiences a higher energy level due to ligand-metal repulsions?
Options
- Adxz, dyz, dxy
- Bdz2, dx2-y2
- Cs, p
- DAll d orbitals experience equal energy levels.
Correct answer
B. dz2, dx2-y2
Step-by-step solution
In an octahedral complex, the dz2, dx2-y2 orbitals experience higher energy levels due to ligand-metal repulsions.
