Table 10.12 provides values of Δ_o for eight octahedral complexes of chromium(III). Select three of the ligands listed, draw the structures of their octahedral complexes of Cr(III), and calculate and view the molecular orbitals. Identify the t_2g and eg orbitals, record the energy of each, and determine the Δ_o values. Is your trend consistent with the values in the table? (Note: The results are likely to vary significantly with the level of sophistication of the software used. If you have several molecular modeling programs available, you may want to try different ones to compare their results.)
