List of top Chemistry Questions on Crystal Field Theory

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Presence of large number of unpaired electrons in transition metal atoms results in higher enthalpies of their atomisation.
Statement II : $d_{xy} = d_{xz} = d_{yz} < d_{x^2 - y^2} = d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2 - y^2} = d_{z^2} = d_{xy} <d_{xz} = d_{yz}$ are the d-orbital splittings in $[Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$ and $[Ni(Cl)_4]^{2-}$ complex ions respectively.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Match List-I with List-II.}

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Each electron in \(e_g\) orbitals destabilizes the orbitals by \(+0.6 \Delta_o\) and each electron in the \(t_{2g}\) orbitals stabilizes the orbitals by \(-0.4 \Delta_o\) in an octahedral field on the basis of crystal field theory.
Statement II: All the d-orbitals of the transition metals have the same energy in their free atomic state but when a complex is formed the ligands destroy the degeneracy of these orbitals on the basis of crystal field theory.

Complete combustion of \( X \) g of an organic compound gave 0.25 g of CO\(_2\) and 0.12 g of H\(_2\)O. If the percent of carbon is 25% and of hydrogen is 4.8%, then \( X = \) _______ g (Nearest integer).}
