Choose the correct statement:
Three charges \( 2q, -q, -q \) are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. At the centroid:
- A the field is zero but the potential is non-zero
- B potential is zero but the field is non-zero
- C both field and potential are zero
- D both field and potential are non-zero
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) potential is zero but the field is non-zero
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( V = \sum \frac{kQ}{r} \) \( V = \frac{k}{r} (2q - q - q) = 0 \) Let \( E_0 = \frac{kq}{r^2} \). Field magnitudes are \( 2E_0 \) (from \( 2q \)), \( E_0 \) (from first \( -q \)), \( E_0 \) (from second \( -q \)). The fields due to the two \( -q \) charges, \( E_{-q,1} \) and…

The degeneracy of the \(d\) orbitals has been removed due to ligand electron-metal electron repulsions in the octahedral comple: to yield three orbitals of lower energy, \(t_{2 g}\) set and two orbitals of higher energy, \(e_g\) set. This splitting of the degenerate levels due to the presence of ligands in a definite geometry is termed as crystal field splitting and the energy separation is denoted by \(\Delta_0\). Thus energy of the two \(e_g\) orbitals will increase by \((3 / 5) \Delta_0\) and that of three \(t_{2 g}\) will decrease by \((2 / 5) \Delta_0\). The crystal field splitting \(\Delta_0\) depends upon the field produced by the ligand and charge on the metal ion. Some ligands are able to produce strong fields, in which case the splitting will be large, whereas others produce weak fields and consequently result in small splitting of \(d\) orbitals. Relative magnitude of crystal field splitting energy \(\Delta_0\) and pairing energy, \(P\) (energy required for electron paring in a single orbital) determine the formation of low spin ( \(\Delta_0>P\) ) or high spin ( \(\Delta_0<P\) ) complex. In tetrahedral coordination entity formation, the \(d\)-orbital splitting is inverted and is smaller as compared to the octahedral field splitting. The crystal field theory attributes the colour of the complex to \(d-d\) transition of the electron. The colour of the coordination compounds depends on the crystal field splitting. In the absence of ligand, crystal field splitting does not occur and hence the substance is colourless.
