A consequence of Crystal Field Theory is that the distribution of electrons in the d orbitals can lead to stabilisation for some electron configurations.For an octahedral complex, an electron in the more stable t2g subset is treated as contributing -2/5Δ whereas an electron in the higher energy eg subset contributes to a destabilisation of +3/5Δ.The final answer is then expressed as a multiple of the crystal field splitting parameter Δ (Delta).
