Which statement concerning the crystal field theory of octahedral 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 crystal field splitting ( o) is determined solely by the charge of the transition metal complex ion.
C) The
And
Orbitals are higher in energy than the
, and
Orbitals because these two point directly toward the ligands.
D) All ligands contribute to the strength of the crystal field.
E) The ordering of the orbitals,
And
Higher in energy than the
, and
Orbitals, is independent of the strength of the crystal field.
