Question

Draw the figure to show the splitting of ‘d’ orbitals in octahedral crystal field.​

Answer 1

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 2

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.
