How does the five degenerate d-orbitals split into two groups in the applied field? 

In the presence of six ligand units the degeneracy of d-orbitals is lost and split into two sets. The pair of orbitals present in a single set are

Two degenerate orbitals among the following are-

In octahedral complexes having co-ordination number 6, the degeneracy of the d-orbitals of central atom is removed due to ligand electron metal electron repulsions. In the octahedral complex three orbitals have lower energy, t_(2g) set and two orbitals have higher energy, eg set. This phenomenon is formed as crystal field splitting and the energy seperation is denoted by Delta_(0) . Thus the energy of the two eg orbitals will increase by (3//5)Delta_(0) and that of the three t_(2g) will decrease by (2//5)Delta_(0) . The erystal field splitling, Delta_(0) depends upon the field produced by the ligand and charge on the metal ion. Some ligands are able to produce strong field and in these cases, the splitting will be large whereas other produce weak fields and consequently result in small splitting of d-orbitals. In an octahedral crystal field, t_(2g) orbitals are

Define oxidation state. How does it vary in the groups ?

Write down the number of 3d electrons in each of the following ions : Ti^(2+), V^(2+) Cr^(3+) and Mn^(2+) . Indicate how would yoq expect the five 3d orbitals to be occupied for these hydrated ions (octahedral).

How does it very in a group and in a period ?
