Why don't d-orbitals split themselves, why does it take a ligand? why don't protons from ligand repel nucleus split d-orbitals?

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?

I'm guessing it's because the ligand experiences too much electron repulsion or proton repulsion from the chromium to insert them close to the 3d-orbitals which are close to the metal nucleus. Is...

Due to valence band structure Ag should be more conductive I think. But we have observed a growth of S on Ag nanoparticles which hints to more unstable particles than Au. Au nanoparticles are inert in comparison. Ag might be more conductive at first but due to chemical instability the conductivity can reduce over time.
