In [Cu(H2O)6]²⁺, copper is in the +2 oxidation state with a d⁹ electronic configuration. According to crystal field theory, in an octahedral ligand field created by six water molecules, the five d-orbitals of Cu²⁺ split into two sets: the lower-energy t₂g orbitals (dxy, dxz, dyz) and the higher-energy eg orbitals (dx²−y², dz²). __________ _________ ____ _________ ____ ___ ______ ___ _______ _____ ________.
