Statement I: In square planar complex dx2−y2\text{d}_{\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2} is higher in energy than dz2\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z}^2}

Statement II: Ligand approach along x\mathrm{x} and y\mathrm{y} axis in square planar complex.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement I and Statement II both are correct
Option A is correct. Statement I and Statement II are both correct because in a square planar complex, the dx2−y2_{x^2-y^2} orbital experiences more repulsion from the ligands approaching along the x and y axes, thus having higher energy than dz2_{z^2}.
