accn to cft,in a square planar complex,the degenerate d orbitals break up in2 a stable t2g set with lower energy content and a relatively unstable eg set with higher energy content.
t2g set contains the d(xy),d(xz),d(yz)
while the eg set contains d(z^2) and d(x^2-y^2)

however,the correct sequence of the orbitals aftr splitting in a sq planar complex is (decreasing energy order)
d(x^2-y^2)
d(xy)
d(z^2)
d(xz)=d(yz)
