Question

Which of the following statement is/are correct ?

(i) In octahedral complexes, $t_{2}g$orbitals possess low energy as compared to $e_{g}$orbitals.

(ii) In tetrahedral complexes, ${t_{2}}_{g}$orbitals possess high energy as compared to $e_{g}$orbitals.

(iii) In octahedral complexes, $e_{g}$orbitals posses low energy as compared to $t_{2g}$orbitals.

• A. (ii) only
• B. (iii) only
• C. (i) and (ii)
• D. (i) and (iii)

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(i) and (ii)

Answer 2

In octahedral complexes, $t_{2g}$orbitals possess low energy as compared to $e_{g}$orbitals while in tetrahedral complexes ${t_{2}}_{g}$orbitals possess high energy as compared to $e_{g}$orbitals.
