The first row transition metal complexes having tetrahedral geometry are high-spin due to
(a)$\Delta_{\mathrm{t}}>\mathrm{P}$
(b)$\Delta_{\mathrm{t}}<\mathrm{P}$
(c)$\Delta_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{P}$
(d)$\Delta_{\mathrm{t}}>\Delta_{0}$
Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Δt ≈ (4/9)Δo is smaller than the pairing energy, so tetrahedral complexes are high spin (b).
