4. Draw and label an energy level diagram to illustrate how the d orbitals for an octahedral complex, ML6, split (where L is a S-only donor ligand). How will the diagram you sketched change (i.e. What will happen to 4o) if: 1. L becomes a p-donor ligand 2. The oxidation state of M increases 3. L becomes a weaker field ligand.
5. Draw and label an energy level diagram to illustrate how the d orbitals for a tetrahedral complex, ML4, split (where L is a S-only donor ligand).
