Which constraint arises when a transition metal complex has weak-field ligands?

💡 Explanation

Weak-field ligands cause a smaller splitting of d-orbitals due to decreased electrostatic interaction; therefore the orbital energy gap decreases between the t₂g and e g orbitals, rather than strong-field ligands causing maximized splitting.
