Determine the Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) magnitude for a central metal ion placed in — Coordination Compounds Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

For a strong field ($\Delta_o > P$), electrons pair up. The $d^6$ configuration fills the lower energy level completely: $t_{2g}^6 e_g^0$. CFSE = $(6 \times -0.4 \Delta_o) + (0 \times 0.6 \Delta_o) = -2.4 \Delta_o$.
