Question

The correct order of energies of d-orbitals of metal ion in a square planar complex is:

• A. $d_{xy}=d_{yz}=d_{zx}>d_{x^2-y^2}=d_{x^2}$
• B. $d_{x^2-y^2}=d_{z^2}>d_{xy}=d_{yz}{d}_{zx}$
• C. $d_{x^2-y^2}<d_{z^2}>d_{xy}=d_{yz}{d}_{zx}$
• D. $d_{x^2-y^2}>d_{xy}>d_{z^2}>d_{zx}{d}_{yz}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $d_{xy}=d_{yz}=d_{zx}>d_{x^2-y^2}=d_{x^2}$

$d_{xy}=d_{yz}=d_{zx}>d_{x^2-y^2}=d_{x^2}$

the correct order is this

A is correct answer
