Question

On the basis of crystal field theory write the electronic configuratio of d6 in terms of t2g and eg in an octahedral field when delta not is smaller than p

Answer 1

Factors affecting crystal field splitting energy: 1) The coordination geometry and number of ligands around the metal ion- Generally, the tetrahedral field produce smaller spilling than octahedral field. 2) The nature of the ligands - Strong field ligands cause more splitting than weak field ligands.
