Question

Why are tetrahedral complexes generally high spin?

Answer 1

Answer:

written below-

Explanation:

Usually, electrons will move up to thehigher energy orbitals rather than pair. Because of this, most tetrahedral complexes are high spin. Since the energy of tetrahedral complexes are less than the pairing energy, tetrahedral complexestends to remain unpaired. Hence only high spin tetrahedral complex are known.
