Question

Why s and p orbitals.Do not.Split in octrahedral field?

Answer 1

Answer:

The p-orbitals increase in energy, but don’t split in the presence of an octahedral crystal field. It’s the repulsion between the ligands, and the electrons in the orbital that increase their energy

Explanation:

And in case of square planar complexes (dsp2), p-orbitals are involved which are facing different conditions of repulsion. So, pxy must have higher energy than pxz or pyz. This happens in case of trigonal pyramidal structure too.
