Low spin configuration are rarely observed in tetrahedral coordination entity formation. Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Tetrahedral Coordination**: - Tetrahedral complexes are formed when a central metal atom is surrounded by four ligands positioned at the corners of a tetrahedron. 2. **Orbital Splitting in Tetrahedral Complexes**: - In tetrahedral coordination, the d-orbitals split into two sets: the lower energy set (e) consisting of two orbitals and the higher energy set (t2) consisting of three orbitals. The energy difference between these sets is smaller than that in octahedral complexes. ...
