What terms in a complex in a octahedral field correlate with the 3p term of a free ion with a d2 configuration

Accepted Answer

In an octahedral field, the d2 configuration of a free ion splits into two sets of orbitals: t2g (dxy, dyz, dzx) and eg (dx2-y2, dz2). The three degenerate orbitals of the t2g set correlate with the 3P term of the free ion. The eg orbitals correlate with the 3F term.
