Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
Bdxz and dyz
Step-by-step explanation
Degenerate orbitals means orbitals of equal energy.
Cr3+ forms an octahedral inner orbitals complex and its d orbital get splitted into two differnt energy level.
The two set of degenerate orbitals are
(1) dxy, dyz and dxz
(2) dx2 - y2 and dz2
