Chapter 23, Problem 23.84P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The orientation of the orbitals relative to the ligands in an octahedral complex to explain the splitting and the relative energies of the $d_{xy}$ and the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbitals has to be sketched.

Concept Introduction:

Geometry of coordination compounds: The study of geometry of the coordination compound helps in understanding the physical and chemical property of the compound.
