In trigonal prismatic ligand field, the most stabilized d orbital is
(a)$\mathrm{d_z}^{2}$
(b)$\mathrm{d_{xy}}$
(c)$\mathrm{d_{xz}}$
(d)$\mathrm{d_{yz}}$
Answer
Answer: A ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence medium
The source book printed B; on checking, A is correct — see the explanation.
Book printed (b).
Explanation
In a trigonal-prismatic field dz² (a₁′) lies lowest, then (dx²−y², dxy) e′ and highest (dxz, dyz) e″ — as in MoS₂ (a).
