Chemistry - Inorganic Chemistry - Advanced - Crystal field theory - d-Orbital Splitting Visualizer
Interactive crystal field splitting diagram. Show 5 degenerate d orbitals in a free metal ion (all same energy). Then add an octahedral field of ligands: the d orbitals SPLIT into two sets: t₂g (lower energy: dxy, dxz, dyz - between the axes, away from ligands) and eg (higher energy: dz², dx²-y² - p
