Q: What is the correct answer for JEE Main Chemistry Q62?

The correct answer is A. In a tetrahedral crystal field, the d-orbitals split into two sets: the lower energy $e$ set (d$_{z^2}$, d$_{x^2-y^2}$) and the higher energy $t_2$ set (d$_{xy}$, d$_{yz}$, d$_{xz}$). Within each set, the orbitals are degenerate (have the same energy). Therefore, the energy order is $e < t_2$. This means (d$_{z^2}$, d$_{x^2-y^2}$) < (d$_{xy}$, d$_{yz}$, d$_{xz}$). So, d$_{z^2}$ = d$_{x^2-y^2}$ and

In a tetrahedral crystal field, the d-orbitals split into two sets: the lower energy $e$ set (d$_{z^2}$, d$_{x^2-y^2}$) and the higher energy $t_2$ set (d$_{xy}$, d$_{yz}$, d$_{xz}$). Within each set, the orbitals are degenerate (have the same energy). Therefore, the energy order is $e < t_2$. This means (d$_{z^2}$, d$_{x^2-y^2}$) < (d$_{xy}$, d$_{yz}$, d$_{xz}$). So, d$_{z^2}$ = d$_{x^2-y^2}$ and d$_{xy}$ = d$_{yz}$ = d$_{xz}$. And d$_{xy}$ > d$_{x^2-y^2}$. Let's check the given statements: A. d$_{xy}$ = d$_{yz}$ > d$_{x^2-y^2}$: This is true. d$_{xy}$ and d$_{yz}$ are part of the $t_2$ set (higher energy), and d$_{x^2-y^2}$ is part of the $e$ set (lower energy). So, d$_{xy}$ = d$_{yz}$ and their energy is greater than d$_{x^2-y^2}$. B. d$_{xy}$ = d$_{yz}$ > d$_{z^2}$: This is also true for the same reason as A. C. d$_{x^2-y^2}$ > d$_{z^2}$ > d$_{xz}$: This is false. d$_{x^2-y^2}$ and d$_{z^2}$ are degenerate ($e$ set), and d$_{xz}$ is part of the $t_2$ set (higher energy). So d$_{x^2-y^2}$ = d$_{z^2}$ < d$_{xz}$. D. d$_{x^2-y^2}$ = d$_{z^2}$ < d$_{xz}$: This is true. d$_{x^2-y^2}$ and d$_{z^2}$ are degenerate ($e$ set), and d$_{xz}$ is part of the $t_2$ set (higher energy). So, their energy is less than d$_{xz}$. So, statements A, B, and D are true. The options are: (1) A, B and D only (2) A and B only (3) B and D only (4) B, C and D only Since A, B, and D are all true, option (1) "A, B and D only" is the correct choice.
