Q40.For a d4 metal ion in an octahedral field, the correct electronic configuration is : (1) t3 2g e1g when ΔO < P (2) t32g e1g when ΔO > P (3) t42g e0g when ΔO < P (4) e2g t22g when ΔO < P

What This Question Tests

This question tests the understanding of Crystal Field Theory (CFT) and how d-electrons are filled in an octahedral complex depending on the relative magnitude of pairing energy and crystal field splitting energy for a d⁴ metal ion.

Concepts Tested

d-orbital splitting in octahedral fieldsHigh spin vs. low spin configurationsPairing energy (P) vs. crystal field splitting energy (ΔO)
