← ScienceWhich consequence results when hybrid orbitals mismatch in ligands?
A)Reduced ligand field splitting✓
B)Increased electron shielding occurs
C)Enhanced magnetic susceptibility arises
D)Greater vibrational mode excitation
💡 Explanation
Reduced ligand field splitting occurs when hybrid orbitals mismatch, because the ligand's electronic interaction diminishes, resulting from less effective orbital overlap. Therefore, the splitting is smaller, rather than enhanced magnetic susceptibility due to spin.
