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
