Dear student
For octahedral complexes, crystal field splitting is denoted by Δo (or Δoct ). The energies of the dz2 and dx2−y2 orbitals increase due to greater interactions with the ligands. The dxy , dxz , and dyz orbitals decrease with respect to this normal energy level and become more stable.
Hope this helps
Good luck
