Question

The orbitals having lower energy in tetrahedral complexes according to CFT are ?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D $d{x}^2-y^2,d_z^2$

The splitting of d-orbitals in CFT iss given as-



$\therefore$lower energy was shown by $d{x}^2-y^2,d{z}^2.$
Hence, option (d) is correct.
