Question

What is the correct order for energy of $d$ orbitals during splitting in Tetra Chlorido Nickelate(II) complex ion?

• A. $d_{x y} \cong d_{y z} \cong d_{x z} < d_{x^{2}-y^{2}} \cong d_{z^{2}}$
• B. $d_{x y} \cong d_{y z} \cong d_{x z} \cong d_{x^{2}-y^{2}} \cong d_{z^{2}}$
• C. $d_{x y} \cong d_{y z} \cong d_{x z} > d_{x^{2}-y^{2}} \cong d_{z^{2}}$
• D. $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}} > d_{z^{2}} > d_{x y} \cong d_{y z} \cong d_{x z}$
