### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Crystal Field Theory (CFT)**: - Crystal Field Theory is a model that describes the electronic structure of transition metal complexes. It explains how the presence of ligands around a central metal ion affects the energy levels of the d-orbitals. 2. **Assumption 1: Ligands as Point Charges or Dipoles**: - The first assumption of CFT is that ligands can be treated as point charges or point dipoles. - **Point Charges**: Negatively charged ligands (e.g., Cl⁻, F⁻, CN⁻) are considered as point charges that exert an electrostatic field around the metal ion. ...
