What are t(2g) and eg orbitals ?...

What are `t_(2g)` and `e_g` orbitals ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In a free transition metal ion, the five d-orbitals are degenerate. When it forms a complex, the degeneracy is split. Three d-orbitals having lower energy are called `t_(2g)` orbitals and the remaining two d-orbitals of higher energy are called `e_g` orbitals.
