When the ligands move along the x, y and z axes of d orbital in metal ion (octahedral geometry), they approach directly toward or between the lobes. Name the d orbitals that feel less repulsion?

When the ligands move along the x, y and z axes of d orbital in metal ion (tetrahedral geometry), none of the five d orbitals is directly in their path. Name the d orbitals that feel strong repulsion?

The energy diagram of the d orbital energy splitting complexes in octahedral geometry, shows the d orbitals with higher in energy (e_g) which refer to _____________ d orbitals

The energy diagram of the d orbital energy splitting complexes in tetrahedral geometry, shows the d orbitals with higher in energy (t_2g) which refer to _____________ d orbitals

Calculate CFSE in a d⁶ system in strong ligand field

Which of following has highest CFSE

Given [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ (high spin). Calculate Δ_CFSE and give configuration in term of t_2g and e_g.

The weakness of CFT are

i) Fails to explain how arrangement of electron configuration in d-orbital.

ii) Fails to explain why the F^- ion has very ionic property

III) Fails to explain why the CN^- and CO give very high ligand field effect with all metal.

Iv) Fails to estimate relative stability among complexes by using E_CFSE.

What is the difference between VBT and CFT?
