Concept explainers
Interpretation: It is to be determined if the energy of the electron is higher or lower when the lobes of the given d-orbitals point directly at the ligands as compared to the energy of the electron when the lobes do not point directly at the ligands.
Concept introduction: The complex of metal-ligand is formed due to the electrostatic attraction between the positive charge of metal ion and negative charge of ligand.
To determine: If the energy of the electron is higher or lower when the lobes of the given d-orbitals point directly at the ligands as compared to the energy of the electron when the lobes do not point directly at the ligands.
