      Why are low spin tetrahedral complexes not formed?

    Answer:

                        In tetrahedral complex, the d-orbital is splitting to small as compared to octahedral. For same metal and same ligand . Hence, the orbital splitting energies are not enough to force pairing. As a result, low spin configurations are rarely observed in tetrahedral complexes.
