9. a) Draw the splitting energy diagram for the ground state of each of the three octahedral complex ions, Ni(en)3²+ (aq), Ni(NH3)6²+ (aq), and Ni(H₂O)²+(aq). In the diagrams, show how the d-orbitals compare energetically between these three Ni²+ complex ions. (Hint: Think about the relative ligand strengths.)
