Question

Give the symmetry symbol for dx2 –y2 and dz2 orbitals. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

Octahedral complexes, for dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals, eg is written and for dxy, dxz, and dyz, t2g symbol is written.

Explanation:

I hope you are satisfy with answer.

Answer 2

The symmetry symbol for dx2 –y2 and dz2 orbital is δ.

• The d orbitals symmetry symbol is written in Greek word δ.
• In cathedral field, splitting of orbitals occurs in t2g and eg orbitals.
• In octahedral field d orbitals in t2g are dxy dyz and dxz while eg orbitals are dx2 –y2 and dz2 orbitals.
• d orbitals are 4 lobed. if the orbitals are between the axis then they are t2g which is dxy dyz and dxz.
• If the orbitals are along the axis then they are eg which is dx2 –y2 and dz2.
