From the following select the metal ions that are expected to exhibit Jahn-Teller distortion in their octahedral complexes :-

(here WFL = Weak field ligand ; SFL = Strong field ligand)

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:

A, B

Solution:

$Cu^{2 +}$ (WFL) & $Cr^{2 +}$ (WFL) ions expected to show John-Teller distortion in their complexes (Jahn-Teller distortion is shown by metal ion with an unsymmetrical filling of d-electrons in $t_{2 g}$ and $e_{g}$ orbital.
