The eg and t2g groups
Which group is destabilized to a greater extent in an octahedral field? What are high spin and low spin complexes? Which configurations yield HS complexes? Which yield LS complexes?

Jahn Teller theorem
For any nonlinear molecular system in a degenerate electronic state, a distortion will occur so as to lower the symmetry and remove the degeneracy Nondegenerate systems: d3, d5 high spin, d6 low spin, d8, d10 Doubly degenerate: more pronounced Jahn-Teller distortions Triply degenerate: less pronounced Jahn-Teller distortions
