To determine: The d orbital diagram for a linear complex with ligands on the x axis.
(b)
Interpretation: The d orbital diagram for a linear complex with ligands on the x axis and ligands on the y axis is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The electrons in the d orbital of a transition metal split into high and low energy orbitals when ligands are attached to it. The energy difference between these two levels depends upon the properties of both metal and the ligands. If the ligand is strong, then splitting will be high and the complex will be low spin. If the ligand is weak, then splitting will be less and the complex will be high spin.
To determine: The d orbital diagram for a linear complex with ligands on the y axis.
