On the basis of crystal field theory, write the electronic configuration for d4 ion if ∆o < P ?

Solution

On the basis of crystal field theory, for a d4 ion, if ∆o< P, then the complex is a high spin complex formed by the association of weak field ligands with the metal ion. As a result, the fourth electron enters one of the eg orbitals, thereby, exhibiting the electronic configuration t2g3 eg1.
