Read the passage carefully and answer
The crystal field theory (CFT) is an electrostatic model which considers the metal-ligand bond to be ionic arising purely from electrostatic interactions between the metal ion and the ligand. Ligands are treated as point charges in case of anions or dipoles in case of neutral molecules. The five d orbitals in an isolated gaseous metal atom/ion have same energy, i.e., they are degenerate. This degeneracy is maintained if a spherically symmetrical field of negative charges surrounds the metal atom/ion. However, when this negative field is due to ligands (either anions or the negative ends of dipolar molecules like NH3 and H2O) in a complex, it becomes asymmetrical and the degeneracy of the dorbitals is lifted. It results in splitting of the d orbitals. The pattern of splitting depends upon the nature of the crystal field.

- Question based on following passage :
Adsorption is the process of attracting and retaining the adsorbate molecules on the surface of adsorbent. It is of two types i.e. Physisrption and chemisorption. To increase the rate of reaction, the substance called 'catalyst' is added. Promotors enhance the activity of catalyst while poison decrease the catalyst activity. Solutions may be true solution, suspension and colloids. Colloids are heterogenous but quite stable. On the basis of nature of interaction, colloids may be Lyophilic or Lyophobic. On the basis of type of dispersed phase particles, there may be multimolecular colloids, macromlecular colloids and associated colloids. The congulation of colloids may be done by boiling, dialysis or by mixing oppositely charged sols.
