Question:
The values of the crystal field stabilization energies for a high spin $\mathrm{d}^{6}$ metal ion in octahedral and tetrahedral fields, respectively, are:
Correct Option: , 3
Solution:
For high spin octahedral field
$\mathrm{CFSE}=(4)\left(-0.4 \Delta_{0}\right)+2\left(0.6 \Delta_{0}\right)=-0.4 \Delta_{0}$
For high spin tetrahedral field
$\operatorname{CFSE}=3\left(-0.6 \Delta_{t}\right)+3\left(0.4 \Delta_{t}\right)=-0.6 \Delta_{t}$
