Solution

The correct option is C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
After splitting of d orbitals during complex formation, the orbitals form two sets of orbitals t2g and eg octahedral field.
t2g orbitals are lower in energy and eg orbitals are higher in energy.
Splitting of d orbitals occurs only in the case of strong field ligands as well as weak field ligands.
Strong field ligands will cause pairing of the electrons whereas weak field ligands do not cause pairing of electrons.
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
