Octahedral splitting
Six ligands on the axes lift the degeneracy of the five orbitals. The and orbitals point at the ligands: the level, at . The , , orbitals point between the ligands: the level, at . The barycentre is preserved: .
Count a complex's d electrons, place them in t2g and eg, decide between high spin and low spin, then work out the CFSE and link colour to Δo.
