Observe the orbital splitting diagram of a tetrahedral field and find the value of x.(a) 0.178(b) 0.267(c) 0.4(d) 0.44The question was asked in an internship interview.My question is taken from Bonding in Coordination Compounds topic in chapter Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) 0.178

Explanation: The value of x is ASKED in TERMS of Δo and not Δt. The t2 orbitals is at an energy of (2/5) Δt above the average energy. This is equal to (2/5) times (4/9) Δo = 0.178Δo.
