B Correct answer
Explanation

TiF$ _6^{2-}$ -

The oxidation state of Ti is +4.
Electronic configuration of Ti$^{4+}$ is [Ar] 3d$^0 4s^0$.
So, unpaired e$^-$ s is present in d-orbitals so it is colourless.
Cu$ _2Cl _2$-
The oxidation state of Cu is +1.
Electronic configuration of Cu$^+$ is [Ar] 3d$^{10} 4s^0$.
So, no unpaired d e$^-$ s are present . Hence, the given compound is colourless.

Colour of transition metal ions are due to absorption of some wavelength. This results in:

  1. $d-f$ transition
  2. $s-s$ transition
  3. $s-d$ transition
  4. $d-d$ transition

D Correct answer
Explanation

Colour of transition metal ions are due to absorption of the same wavelength. This results in $d-d$ transition.

The coloured species is ?

  1. ${ VCl } _{ 3 }$
  2. ${ VOSO } _{ 4 }$
  3. ${ Na } _{ 3 }{ VO } _{ 4 }$

C Correct answer
Explanation

In Na3VO4, vanadium is in the +5 oxidation state (d0 configuration). The color arises from ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) rather than d-d transitions.

Which of the following compounds are coloured due to charge transfer spectra?

  1. ${K} _{2}{Cr} _{2}{O} _{7}$
  2. $KMn{O} _{4}$
  3. $Cu{SO} _{4}.5{H} _{2}O$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Both potassium dichromate and potassium permanganate derive their intense colors from ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions, where electrons are transferred from oxygen orbitals to empty metal d-orbitals. Copper sulfate color is due to d-d transitions, making options A and B the correct choices.

Which of the following ion will give colourless aqueous solution ?  

  1. $Ni^{2+}$
  2. $Sc^{3+}$
  3. $Cu^{2+}$
  4. $Mn^{3+}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Solution:- (B) ${Sc}^{+3}$

Only the ions that have electrons in $d$-orbital and in which $d-d$ transition is possible will be coloured.
Electronic configuration of ${Sc}^{+3} \left( \text{At. no. = 21} \right) - 1 {s}^{2} 2 {s}^{2} 2{p}^{6} 3{s}^{2} 3 {p}^{6}$
Since it do not contains electrons in $d$-orbital and hence will not undergo $d-d$ transition and do not show colour.

Why are the compounds of transition metal generally coloured ?

  1. due to s being filled before d (Aufbau principle)

  2. Due to presence of unpaired electron

  3. unfilled d orbital

  4. d-d transition
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,D Correct answer
Explanation

coloured compound of transition elements is assosiated with partially filled (n-1)d orbitals. the transition metal ions containing unpaired d-electrons undergoes electronic transition from one d-orbital to another. during this d-d transition process the electrons absorb certain energy from the radiation and emit the remainder of energy as colored light. the color of ion is complementary of the color absorbed by it. hence, colored ion is formed due to d-d transition which falls in visible region for all transition elements.

The silver salts like $AgBr$ and $AgI$ are coloured because of:

  1. d-d transition of electrons

  2. charge transfer
  3. polirisation of halid${Ag}^{+}$ by

  4. both (b) and (c)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The silver salts like$AgBr$ and $AgI$ are colored, the color of transition metal ions is due  to the presence of unpaired electron . The electrons which absorbs radiations of color that from the visible or UV spectrum and undergo transition from ground state to excited state within d-sub shells,so it is d-d transitions of electrons.
