B) Pairing energy is greater than crystal field splitting, giving a low-spin complex.
C) Pairing energy is less than crystal field splitting, giving a high-spin complex.
D) A d6ion has only one possible electron arrangement regardless of the ligands.
E) Pairing energy is greater than crystal field splitting, giving a high-spin complex.
