NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory MCQ Question
Consider an octahedral complex where ligands cause crystal field splitting. Which of the following correctly describes the energy change of the e_g and t_2g orbitals?
e_g orbitals increase by (3/5)Δo, t_2g orbitals decrease by (2/5)Δo
e_g orbitals decrease by (3/5)Δo, t_2g orbitals increase by (2/5)Δo
Both e_g and t_2g orbitals increase by (3/5)Δo
Both e_g and t_2g orbitals decrease by (2/5)Δo
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an octahedral complex, the e_g orbitals increase in energy by (3/5)Δo, while the t_2g orbitals decrease by (2/5)Δo due to crystal field splitting caused by ligands.
