Use qualitative crystal field theory to predict the relative energy of the five d-orbitals for the hypothetical bent L-M-L complex (L-M-L angle is 909) transition metal complexes (using the square planar geometry as a reference). Be sure to draw the orbital splitting diagrams for both the original square planar complex as well as the new bent species, showing explicitly how the energy levels of the orbitals change. (using arrows is helpful here) Include a two-sentence explanation for why the energies changed in that way. [10 pts] V L X
