QJEEM19Ch66b0: JEE Main 2019 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM19Ch66b0 Solution: The degenerate orbitals of [Cr(H 2 O) 6 ] 3+ are :

The degenerate orbitals of [Cr(H2O)6]3+ are :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A dx2 and dxz
  • B dxz and dyz
  • C dyz and dz2
  • D dx2 - y2 and dxy

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Degenerate orbitals means orbitals of equal energy.

Cr3+ forms an octahedral inner orbitals complex and its d orbital get splitted into two differnt energy level.

The two set of degenerate orbitals are

(1) dxy, dyz and dxz

(2) dx2 - y2 and dz2
