Q. Which of the following statements is/are correct?
(i) In octahedral complexes, $t_{2g}$ orbitals possess low energy as compared to $e_{g}$ orbitals.
(ii) In tetrahedral complexes, $t_{2}$ orbitals possess high energy as compared to $e$ orbitals.
(iii) In octahedral complexes, $e_{g}$ orbitals possess low energy as compared to $t_{2g}$ orbitals.

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

The order of energy levels in tetrahedral complex is opposite to that in octahedral complex.
