Q. The crystal field splitting energy for octahedral($\mathrm{\Delta}_{0})$ and tetrahedral ($\mathrm{\Delta}_{t})$ complexes is related to
A) $\mathrm{\Delta}_{t} = \frac{4}{9}\mathrm{\Delta}_{0}$
B) $\mathrm{\Delta}_{t} = \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{\Delta}_{0}$
C) $\mathrm{\Delta}_{0} = 2\mathrm{\Delta}_{t}$
D) $\mathrm{\Delta}_{0} = \frac{4}{9}\mathrm{\Delta}_{t}$
Explanation
(a)
$\mathrm{\Delta}_{t}$ is roughly 4/9 times to $\mathrm{\Delta}_{0}$.
