Crystal Field Theory

From the creator

We are used to using a theory like VSEPR theory to predict molecular geometry, but unfortunately with coordination compounds, things are not so simple, because of those pesky d orbitals on the central metal atom. Crystal field theory is a model that is quite successful in predicting the geometries of these compounds, as well as other characteristics, like magnetic behavior, and color, so let's learn about this theory now!
