Question

How do d ortial energy level split up when a transition metal ion is palced in an octahedral crystal field of ligand?

Answer 1

Answer:

octahedral symmetry the d-orbitals split into two sets with an energy difference, Δoct (the crystal-field splitting parameter, also commonly denoted by 10Dq for ten times the "differential of quanta") where the dxy, dxz and dyz orbitals will be lower in energy than the dz2 and dx2-y2, which will have higher energy, ...
