Identify the correct relation between Δo and Δt, where Δo denotes crystal field splitting in octahedral complexes and Δt denotes crystal field splitting in tetrahedral complexes.(a) Δo < Δt(b) Δo > Δt(c) Δo = Δt(d) Δo ≥ ΔtThe question was posed to me in examination.My question is based upon Bonding in Coordination Compounds topic in division Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (b) Δo > Δt

The explanation: It has been OBSERVED that splitting energy in tetrahedral fields is CONSIDERABLY LESS than in octahedral complexes. To be precise, it has been found that Δt = (4/9) Δo.
