Outlining what dorbital splitting (crystal field theory) is and how it occurs. The shapes of dorbitals and how their energies can change when complex ions get formed is shown, with examples given. Calculating energy gaps using Planck’s constant and the forming of colour in compounds is also included.

For AQA, OCR (A), Edexcel and CIE.
