Which statement is true regarding ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions? Group of answer choices electrons are excited from an orbital on one ligand to an orbital on another ligand electrons are excited from an orbital in the metal center to one on a ligand electrons are excited from a ligand-based orbital to one in the metal center Typical LMCT molar absorptivities are around 10 M-1 cm-1
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
The Concept used in this question is from Co Ordination Chemistry.
The correct option is option (3) that is
ELECTRONS ARE EXCITED FROM A LIGAND BASED ORBITAL TO ONE IN THE METAL CENTER.
