According to the Crystal Field Theory, the energy of d_(xy) orbital is lower than d_(x^(2)-y^(2)) in an octahedral complex because

Answer»

the `d_(xy)` orbital near the LIGANDS
the REPULSION between the `d_(xy)` electrons and ligands electrons is LESS than that between `d_(X^(2)-y^(2))` and ligands electrons.
the repulsion between the `d_(xy)` electrons and ligands electrons is more than that between `d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` and ligands electrons.
the `d_(x^(2)-^(2))` orbital is away the ligands.
