उत्तर
- Let the six ligands approach the central metal ion symmetrically along the Cartesian axes (x, y, z), with the metal ion positioned at the origin.

- As the ligands approach, there is an initial elevation in the energy of d-orbitals compared to that of the free ion, analogous to the behaviour observed in a spherical field.
- The (`d_(z^2)` and `d_(x^2 - y^2)`) orbitals point directly along the axes (in the direction of the approaching ligands). They experience stronger repulsion and are raised in energy. The dxy, dyz and dzx orbitals point between the axes. They experience less repulsion and remain lower in energy.
- In a spherical field, no splitting happens at all. All five d-orbitals remain completely equal in energy (degenerate). The splitting into higher- and lower-energy groups happens only because of the octahedral crystal field.
- Therefore, the degenerate set of d-orbitals splits into two groups: the low energy orbital group t2g and the high energy orbital group eg separated by energy Δo.
