In the EPR spectrum of tetragonal Cu(II) complex, when $g_{\parallel} > g_{\perp} > g_e$, the unpaired electron resides in the orbital.
(a)$d_{xy}$
(b)$d_{x^2-y^2}$
(c)$d_{z^2}$
(d)$d_{xz}$
Answer
Answer (as printed): B
Explanation
Gives the evidence that Cu on is present in tetragonally distorted octahedral field, the unpaired electron resides in the orbital d x2-y2
