Chemistry - Coordination Chemistry Question with Solution | TestHub

In a tetrahedral complex, ligands are placed between the cube axes, not directly on axes as in octahedral case.
This causes splitting of d-orbitals into e and t₂ sets differently from octahedral field.
Correct ligand arrangement for tetrahedral splitting corresponds to ligands at alternate corners (no direct axial approach).
From the given diagrams, arrangement that matches tetrahedral field symmetry is (A) and (C).
