Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Presence of large number of unpaired electrons in transition metal atoms results in higher enthalpies of their atomisation. Statement II: d_ xy =d_ xz =d_ yz <d_ x^2-y^2 =d_ z^2 and d_ x^2-y^2 =d_ z^2 <d_ xy =d_ xz =d_ yz are the d-orbital splittings in [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺ and [Ni(Cl)₄]²⁻ complex ions respectively.
