Answer:
Therefore these two orbitals form a low energy, doubly degenerate e set. ... The splitting energy, Δt, is about 4/9 the splitting of an octahedral complex formed with the same ligands. For 3d elements, Δt is thus small compared to the pairing energy and their tetrahedral complexes are always high spin

Answer:
In solutions (i.e. as ions), they form transition metal complexes that absorb visible light. ... These splitting energies are called Δo for the octahedral complex and Δt=49Δo for the tetrahedral complex.
