Coordinate compounds CFT
why does crystal field split even in case of like Sc3+,if there is no electron in the d orbital then there is no repulsion between ligand and metal in d orbital hence it should not split
AND
Since CFT is based on electrostatic interactions then how can it have shapes like octahedral or tetrahedral if I remember correctly ionic bonds don’t have shapes

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.the shapes are because of the physical arrangement of ligands around a central metal atom
even in NaCl, shape exists!
Cl goes into OVs and Na is in the FCC lattice
CsCl too, has a 'shape' in solid state
about Sc3+ yea no electron means no splitting. Virtually you can say there yea states 'exist' but if there is no electron, there is no question of an orbital na
It is the ligands that probably cause the split, this is a bit complicated. Check JD LEE about this once.
Sc3+ and Zn2+ are colourless cos of this btw
no electron/fully filled electrons
octahedron is formed by a six sided figure where each side pe there are ligands, and centre me metal ion
please check my solid state sessions if y ou wanna understand 'shapes' properly
Alright sir
I’ll check the book
