Chemistry students pretending to be tough until the d-orbital energy diagram ruins their day. The splitting of d-orbitals in transition metal complexes is what gives us those vibrant colors in coordination compounds. Nothing says "I've lost control of my life" quite like trying to remember if your complex is high-spin or low-spin while staring at this energy diagram at 3 AM before your inorganic chem final.
