Answer:
The term VBT stands for valence bond theory. It is a theory used to describe the formation of different chemical bonds between atoms. This theory explains the overlapping or mixing of atomic orbitals to form chemical bonds. The term CFT stands for Crystal field theory. It is a model that is designed to explain the breaking of degeneracies (electron shells of equal energy) of electron orbitals (usually d or f orbitals) due to the static electric field produced by a surrounding anion or anions (or ligands). The key difference between VBT and CFT is that VBT explains the mixing of orbitals whereas CFT explains the splitting of orbitals.
