Which outcome arises when a p-orbital containing unpaired electrons approaches near a transition metal complex?

💡 Explanation

Ligand field splitting occurs because the proximity of p-orbitals perturbs the d-orbital energies of the transition metal, altering d-orbital occupancy; therefore ligand field splitting is expected rather than intersystem crossing, because that relies on heavy atom effect under spin-orbit coupling.
