Draw the figure to show the splitting of ‘d’ orbitals in octahedral crystal field.
Answers
Answer:
d-orbitals in octahedral complex split into two energy levels:
The lower energy level t2g & the higher energy level eg.
Explanation:
An octahedral complex consists of six ligands attached to a central transition metal atom. The d-orbitals split into two energy levels:
The lower energy level consists of dxy, dyz and dzx orbitals which are collectively called t2g
The higher energy level consists of dx²-y² and dx² orbitals which are collectively called eg.
Please refer to the diagram of splitting of a d-orbitals in the attached image....
Answer:
Explanation:The splitting of the d orbitals in an octahedral field takes palce in such a way that dx2y2 , dz2 experience a rise in energy and form the eg level, while dxy, dyzand dzxexperience a fall in energy and form the t2g level.
