What Does CFO Stand For?
CFO stands for Crystal Field Orbital
CFO, or Crystal Field Orbital, refers to the specific type of atomic orbital that describes the spatial distribution of electrons in transition metal complexes under the influence of an external electric field created by surrounding ligands. This concept is fundamental in understanding the electronic structure, geometry, and properties of coordination compounds, as it helps explain phenomena such as color, magnetism, and reactivity in these complexes.
