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 dxy, dxz, and dyz orbitals are higher in energy than the dz2 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 dxy, dxz, and dyz orbitals are closer to the ligands at the four corners of the tetrahedron than are the lobes of the dz2 and dx2 y2 orbitals.
E) Statements A-D all are correct.
