Hemoglobin in our blood exist in two predominant forms.one form,known as oxyhemoglobin, has oxygen bound to the iron and the other,known as deoxyhemoglobin has water molecule bound instead.Oxyhemoglobin is a low spin complex that gives arterial blood its red colour, and deoxyhemoglobin is a high spin complex that gives venus blood its darker colour.Explain these observations in terms of the crystal field splitting.
