Which Statement A-D Concerning the Crystal Field Theory of Tetrahedral $\Delta$

question 38

Multiple Choice

Which statement A-D concerning the crystal field theory of tetrahedral transition metal complexes is not correct? If all are correct, respond E.

• A) The crystal field splitting (\(\Delta\)_o) increases with increasing charge of the metal ion for the same set of ligands.
• B) The d_xy, d_xz, and d_yz orbitals are higher in energy than the \(d _ { z^2 }\)
• And \(d _ { x ^ { 2 } - y ^ { 2 } }\)
• Orbitals.
• C) The crystal field splitting (\(\Delta\)_o) depends on the nature of the ligands and their positions in the spectrochemical series.
• D) The lobes of the d_xy, d_xz, and d_yz orbitals are closer to the ligands at the four corners of the tetrahedron than are the lobes of the \(d _ { z ^2}\)
• And \(d _ { x ^ { 2 } - y ^ { 2 } }\)
• Orbitals.
• E) Statements A-D all are correct.
