27. (b): Jahn‐Teller distortion is usually significant for asymmetrically occupied eg

orbitals since they are directed towards the ligands and the energy gain is considerably
more. In case of unevenly occupied orbitals, theJahn‐Teller distortion is very weak
since the set does not point directly at the ligands and therefore, the energy gain is
much less.
High spin complexes:

28. (a) : The greater the negative charge on the carbonyl complex, the more easy it
would be for the metal to permit its electrons to participate in the back bonding, the

higher would be the bond order and simultaneously there would be larger
