### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Understanding Crystal Field Splitting Energy (Δ₀)** Crystal Field Splitting Energy (Δ₀) refers to the energy difference between two sets of d-orbitals in a transition metal complex when ligands approach the metal ion. In an octahedral field, the five d-orbitals split into two energy levels: the lower energy triplet orbitals (t₂g) and the higher energy doublet orbitals (eₕ). The energy difference between these two sets of orbitals is known as Δ₀. **Step 2: Electronic Configuration of d⁴ in an Octahedral Field** For a d⁴ configuration, we have four electrons to place in the split d-orbitals (t₂g and eₕ). We will analyze two scenarios based on the relationship between Δ₀ and the pairing energy (P). ...
