Question

What would be energy order of d-orbitals of tetrahedral complexes when they undergo splitting ?
A. `d_(xy) ~= d_(y_2) ~= d_(xz) lt d_(x^2-y^2) ~= d_z^2`
B. `d_(x^2- y^2) ~= d_z^2 lt d_(xy) ~= d_(yz) ~= d_(xy)`
C. `d_(xy) ~= d_(z^2) lt d_(yz) ~= d_(xz) ~= d_(x^2-y^2)`
D. `d_(x^2-y^2) ~= d_(xz) lt d_(xy) ~= d_(yz) ~= d_z^2`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Tetrahedral complexes Splitting of d-orbitals as per CFT is `underset"eg"((d_(x^2-y^2)-=d_z^2)) lt underset(t_"2g")((d_"xy" -= d_"yz" -=d_"xz"))`
