← ScienceWhich mechanism influences electron distribution when ligand field splitting occurs?
A)Crystal field stabilization energy✓
B)Quantum mechanical resonance frequency
C)Pauli exclusion principle magnitude
D)Relativistic electron mass increase
💡 Explanation
Crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) affects electron distribution in d-orbitals because ligand field splitting causes some orbitals to be lower in energy; therefore, electrons preferentially occupy these orbitals to minimize overall energy rather than occupy higher-energy orbitals.
