Options
- Athe energy of the e_ g orbitals will decrease by (3/5) _ o and that of the t_ 2 g will increase by (2 / 5) _ o
- Bthe energy of the e_ g orbitals will increase by (3 / 5) _ o and that of the t_ 2 g will decrease by (2 / 5) _
- Cthe energy of the e_ g orbitals will increase by (3/5) ₀ and that of the t_ 2 g will increase by (2/5) _ o
- Dthe energy of the e_ g orbitals will decrease by (3 / 5) _ o and that of the t_ 2 g will decrease by (2 / 5) _
Correct answer
B. the energy of the e_ g orbitals will increase by (3 / 5) _ o and that of the t_ 2 g will decrease by (2 / 5) _
Step-by-step solution
For crystal field splitting in octahedral complexes, the energy of e_ g orbitals will increase by ( 3 5 ) _ o and that of t_ 2 g will decrease by ( 2 5 ) _ o . The splitting of degenerate d -orbital is as follows.
