Chemistry-Crystal Field Theory
NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12
Which of the following statements about crystal field theory is correct?
A
The energy of the e_g orbitals increases by (3/5) D_o, while the t_2g orbitals decrease by (2/5) D_o.
B
Crystal field splitting, D_o, is constant regardless of the ligand's field strength.
C
All ligands produce the same degree of splitting in the d-orbitals of a transition metal ion.
D
Crystal field splitting depends solely on the oxidation state of the metal ion.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the energy of the e_g orbitals increases by (3/5) D_o, while the t_2g orbitals decrease by (2/5) D_o, which accurately describes the effect of crystal field splitting.
