8. Consider the number of d-electrons for Mn³+ and the ligand strength of the ligands, H₂O en, and NH3. a) Draw the splitting energy diagram for the ground state of each of the three octahedral complex ions, Mn(en)3³+ (aq), Mn(NH3)6³+ (aq), and Mn(H₂O)6³+ (aq). In the diagrams, show how the d-orbitals compare energetically between these three Mn³+ complex ions. (Hint: Think about the relative ligand strengths.) b) Label ONE of these energy diagrams each d-orbital with its designation, dxy, dyz, etc... c) Considering the electronic configurations in the splitting energy diagrams in part a, explain why the electron configuration in the splitting energy diagram for the complex ion containing the weak field ligands is different than the electronic configurations in the splitting diagrams for the complex ions containing the strong field ligands.
