Q. Crystal field stabilization energy for high spin d⁴ octahedral complex is
A) −0.6 Δ₀
B) −1.8 Δ₀
C) −1.6 Δ₀ + P
D) −1.2 Δ₀
Explanation
[Solution from source] High-spin d⁴ in an octahedral field is t₂g³ e_g¹. CFSE = 3(−0.4Δ₀) + 1(+0.6Δ₀) = −0.6Δ₀. −1.6Δ₀ + P is the low-spin t₂g⁴ value. Answer (1).
