In an octahedral crystal field, which d orbitals are raised in energy?
Adxz and dyz
Bdx²-y² and dz²
Cdxy, dyz and dxz
Ddxy and dz²
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. dx²-y² and dz²
The dx²-y² and dz² orbitals point along the axes straight at the ligands, so they feel more repulsion and form the eg set.
