Options:
  • A Tetrahedral geometry leads to a higher crystal field splitting energy, favoring high spin configurations.
  • B Tetrahedral coordination results in a lower crystal field splitting energy, favoring low spin configurations.
  • C The tetrahedral geometry causes repulsion between ligands, promoting high spin configurations.
  • D Tetrahedral complexes exhibit stronger ligand-field effects, favoring high spin configurations.
