Question

Electrons in dz2 and dx2- y2 experience a greaterrepulsion from the lone pairs of electrons on the ligands becausethese orbitals. A. Contain more electrons than the other threed-orbitals B. contain only unpaired electrons C. are oriented directly toward the incoming ligand electronpairs D. are the same shape as the orbital o the ligands E. are roughly spherical in shape, such as an s-orbital A. Contain more electrons than the other threed-orbitals B. contain only unpaired electrons C. are oriented directly toward the incoming ligand electronpairs D. are the same shape as the orbital o the ligands E. are roughly spherical in shape, such as an s-orbital
