If Δ∘ > P (P = pairing energy; Δ∘ change in energy of octahedral complexes), the correct electronic configuration for d4 system will be
t42g 0eg
Δ∘ > P implies that the difference between eg and t2g is so large that the electrons would get paired at the lower energy level before the electrons populate the higher level. If pairing energy is less, then electrons cannot resist themselves from being paired up.
