question 107

Multiple Choice

Which statement A-D concerning the crystal field theory of tetrahedral 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 d_xy, d_xz, and d_yz orbitals are higher in energy than the d_z² and orbitals.
• C)The crystal field splitting (  _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_z² and d_x²  _y² orbitals.
• E)Statements A-D all are correct.
