Among the following complexes, the one which shows zero crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) is
To solve this problem, we need to determine which complex shows zero crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE).CFSE depends on the distribution of electrons in the d-orbitals of the metal ion in the complex.Let's analyze each option:• Option 1: - has an electronic configuration of - In an octahedral field, the electrons will be distributed as - This results in a non-zero CFSE.• Option 2: - has an electronic configuration of - In an octahedral field, the electrons will be distributed as - This results in zero CFSE because the stabilization from is balanced by the destabilization from • Option 3: - has an electronic configuration of - In an octahedral field, the electrons will be distributed as - This results in a non-zero CFSE.• Option 4: - has an electronic configuration of - In an octahedral field, the electrons will be distributed as - This results in a non-zero CFSE.Therefore, the complex that shows zero CFSE is This corresponds to Option 2.
