ligand when descending the group in the periodic table from 3d series to 4d and the charge inceases on the metal cation

It has been many years since I even cracked the book on crystal field theory, but I refreshed myself a bit here:
http://www.unine.ch/chim/chw/Chapter%204.html
Basically, the difference in splitting (delta value) decreases as you go down a group and increases by about 50% as you add positive charge on a metal cation. Other factors are covered on that page as well. Thanks for the reminder that I took a graduate inorganic chemistry class once back in the early 90's! I assure you that, at one time, I actually understood it, but I haven't used it in so long...well, you get the picture!
P.S. (I had forgotten that it replaced VB theory, which I was supposed to teach my students but ran out of time!)

Don't be silly--you don't make sense 'cause you are not asking a real question.
