Observe the diagram below of splitting of d-orbital in octahedral field and answer the following questions.
(a)
Identify the electronic configuration of $d^5$ ion, if $\Delta_o < P$.
(b)
Comment on the relationship between crystal field stabilisation energy ($\Delta_o$) and the strength of the ligand.
Answer
Answer (a)

Electronic configuration of $d^5$ ion when $\Delta_o < P$ (weak field / high spin): $t_{2g}^3 e_g^2$.
Answer (b)
AIWritten by AI (gemini) - it can contain mistakes.
Relationship: The crystal field stabilisation energy ($\Delta_o$) increases with the strength of the ligand (stronger ligands cause larger splitting and form low spin complexes).
