Jahn-Teller Effect - Distortion of Molecular and Coordination Geometries | Professor Adam Teaches

The Jahn-Teller Theorem Effect describes the Distortion of Molecular and Coordination Geometries. Here we explore the specific effects it has on a chemistry coordination complex.

Glad you like them!

5:16 I do not understand this diagram, do l just have to assume that elongation of the z axis only occurs when the dx^2-y^2 orbital is higher in energy and the dz^2 is lower? In the Jahn Teller effect the distortions occur at the same time?
