The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
Whatis crystal field splitting energy? How does the magnitude of Δo decidethe actual configuration of d-orbitals in a coordination entity?
Thedegenerate d-orbitals (in a spherical field environment) split intotwo levels i.e., eg and t2g inthe presence of ligands. The splitting of the degenerate levels due to thepresence of ligands is called the crystal-field splitting while the energydifference between the two levels (eg and t2g)is called the crystal-field splitting energy. It is denoted by Δo.
