How many lower energy d-orbitals are there? How many electrons can each hold?
the coordination number of this complex ion is 6 right? so is this octahedral?
there are three lower energy d-orbitals...? i'm looking at my textbook and i think they might be dxy, dyz, and dxz.
so if that's the case there will be 2 unpaired electrons??? is that it?
but if that's right i don't understand why for all the other ones there are 5 orbitals.
sorry i just read this chapter today and it's kind of confusing to me
