(a)
Interpretation:
For the given complex the orbital splitting diagram has to be drawn using spectrochemial series.
Concept introduction:
The element in the periodic table and count its position in the respective transition series. These elements are in Periods 5 and 6, so the general configuration is
Spectrochemical series: The list of ligands arranged in an ascending order of
Crystal field splitting: The energy gap between the splitting of d-orbitals of the metal ion in presence of ligands is known as the crystal field splitting
Splitting of five d-orbitals in an octahedral crystals field is as follows:

Water – is a weak-field ligand, so the splitting energy, Δ, is not large enough to overcome the resistance to electron pairing. The electrons remain unpaired, and the complex is called high-spin.
