As we learnt

 

Crystal field splitting in octahedral complex -

 

e_{g} orbitals are more energetic as compared to t_{2g}

- wherein

 

 In octahedral crystal field splitting,the t2g orbitals are lowered in energy by 0.4\Delta_0 and the eg orbitals are raised in energy by 0.6\Delta_0

 


Option 1)

Raised in energy by 0.4\Delta _{0}

Option 2)

Lowered in energy by 0.4\Delta _{0}

Option 3)

Raised in energy by 0.6\Delta _{0}

Option 4)

Lowered in energy by 0.6\Delta _{0}
