Answer: -2.4 Deltao.
- A -2.4 Deltao
- B -1.6 Deltao
- C -0.4 Deltao
- D -1.2 Deltao
Correct answer: A. -2.4 Deltao
Explanation: Low-spin d6 is t2g6eg0. CFSE = 6(-0.4) + 0(+0.6) = -2.4 Deltao (pairing energy is added separately).
The three common coordination geometries: octahedral (6 ligands), tetrahedral (4 ligands), and square planar (4 ligands in one plane).
Concept context
Study of compounds where a central metal atom is bonded to surrounding ligands. Covers nomenclature, types of isomerism, bonding theories (VBT, CFT), and applications in medicine, photography, and industry.
