Chapter 19, Problem 46E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether the given crystal field diagram shows a low spin or high spin complex needs to be determined.

  

Concept Introduction:

Crystal field theory is the theory given to explain the bonding in the coordination complexes. As ligand approaches towards the metal ion, the d-orbital of metal ion divide according to the energy of metal ion. On the basis of energy and degeneracy, the d-orbital can be classified as ${\text{t}}_{\text{2g}}$ and ${\text{e}}_{\text{g}}$ orbitals. The electrons will fill according to their energy levels.
