Which Statement Concerning the Crystal Field Theory of Octahedral Transition

question 93

Multiple Choice

Which statement concerning the crystal field theory of octahedral transition metal complexes is not correct?

• A)The crystal field splitting (  _o) increases with increasing charge of the metal ion for the same set of ligands.
• B)The crystal field splitting (  _o) is determined solely by the charge of the transition metal complex ion.
• C)The and orbitals are higher in energy than the d_xy, d_xz, and d_yz orbitals because these two point directly toward the ligands.
• D)All ligands contribute to the strength of the crystal field.
• E)The ordering of the orbitals, and are higher in energy than the d_xy, d_xz, and d_yz orbitals, is independent of the strength of the crystal field.
