The energies of d _ x y and D_ z ² orbitals in octahedral and tetrahedral transition metal complexes are such that
Options
- AE (d_ x y )>E (d_ z ^ 2 xy ) in both tetrahedral and octahedral complexes
- BE (d_ x y ^ x y ) < E (d_ z ² ) in both tetrahedral and octahedral complexes
- CE (d_ x y ^ x y )>E (d_ z ² ) in tetrahedral abut E (d_ x y ) < E (d_ z ² ) in octahedral complexes
- DE (d_ x y ^ x y ) < E (d_ z ^ z ) in tetrahedral abut E (d_ x y ^ x y ) < E (d_ z ² ) in octahedral complexes
Correct answer
C. E (d_ x y ^ x y )>E (d_ z ² ) in tetrahedral abut E (d_ x y ) < E (d_ z ² ) in octahedral complexes
Step-by-step solution
Energy of t ₂ ~g orbitals < eg orbitals in octahedral complexes
