Tetrahedral Field Splitting and Delta_t Relation

JEE Main asked Tetrahedral Field Splitting and Delta_t Relation 3 times in 3 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2024 and 2026. It belongs to Crystal Field Theory, in Coordination Compounds (Chemistry). The longest wait between two years asking it was 2 years. In 2024 it came in more than one shift of the same year.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2024 and 2026. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Chemistry questions.
