Chapter 21, Problem 21.103SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the different energies of $d_{xy}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbitals in octahedral complex is to be determined. It is also to be determined which orbit have higher energy.

Concept introduction:

The energy level diagram is used for the representation of energy shell, sub-shell and orbital which are occupied by the electrons of the atoms.
