Answer:
The Crystal Field Theory (CFT) is a model for the bonding interaction between transition metals and ligands.
Explanation:
Crystal field theory (CFT) describes the breaking of degeneracies of electron orbital states, usually d or f orbitals, due to a static electric field produced by a surrounding charge distribution (anion neighbors). ... CFT was developed by physicists Hans Bethe and John Hasbrouck van Vleck in the 1930s.
