The Dxy and the Orbitals Both Lie in the Xy

Question 65

Essay

The dxy and the The d<sub>xy</sub> and the   orbitals both lie in the xy plane, yet for a metal ion in an octahedral complex the energy of the d<sub>xy</sub> orbital is lower than that of the   orbital. Explain this using the arguments of crystal field theory. orbitals both lie in the xy plane, yet for a metal ion in an octahedral complex the energy of the dxy orbital is lower than that of the The d<sub>xy</sub> and the   orbitals both lie in the xy plane, yet for a metal ion in an octahedral complex the energy of the d<sub>xy</sub> orbital is lower than that of the   orbital.
