The x-squared minus y-squared orbital is the highest energy dÂ orbital in this geometry, in which the dÂ orbitals split into 4 energy levels.
For compounds with this geometry, the total splitting energy is approximately 1.74 times delta-sub-o. In the Monsanto process, the catalyst takes on this geometry between the elimination of acetyl iodide and the addition of methyl iodide. This geometry is formed by low-spin d-8 complexes with a total of 16 electrons. The x-squared minus y-squared orbital is the highest energy dÂ orbital in this geometry, in which the dÂ orbitals split into 4 energy levels. Wilkinson's catalyst and (*) cisplatin both have this geometry, which is formed by removing the two axial ligands from an octahedral complex. For 10 points, xenon tetrafluoride has what molecular geometry that consists of four ligands oriented at 90 degrees to each other within the same plane?
For compounds with this geometry, the total splitting energy is approximately 1.74 times delta-sub-o.
