The degenerate orbitals of C r H 2 O 6 3 + are

The degenerate orbitals of CrH2O63+ are
  1. dx2-y2 and dxy.
  2. dz2 and dxz.
  3. dyz and dz2.
  4. dxz and dyz.

Solution

Degenerate orbitals of CrH2O63+

Orbitals having same energy call degenerate orbital, And here water acts as weak ligands which split d-orbital into two parts.


Hence, according to the options given, degenerate orbitals are dxz and dyz
