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)
