Crystal Field Splitting<br />

This configuration produces greater repulsion<br />

for the electrons in the two “on axis” orbitals<br />

than the electrons in the three “off axis”<br />

orbitals.<br />

The result is that the<br />

“on axis” orbitals are<br />

“split” to higher<br />

energy<br />

and the<br />

“off axis” orbitals are<br />

“split” to lower<br />

energy.<br />
