List-I Transition metal ion

List-II Property

(A) $Mn^{3+}$

(II) $3d^4$, violet

(B) $Fe^{2+}$

(I) $3d^6$, green

(C) $Ti^{4+}$

(III) $3d^0$, colorless

(D) $V^{2+}$

(IV) $3d^3$, violet

(A) $Mn^{3+}$:

  • Manganese ($Mn$) has the configuration $[Ar] 3d^5 4s^2$.
  • $Mn^{3+}$ (loses 3 electrons) becomes $3d^4$.
  • In aqueous solution, $Mn^{3+}$ ions typically appear violet.
  • Match: (II)

(B) $Fe^{2+}$:

  • Iron ($Fe$) has the configuration $[Ar] 3d^6 4s^2$.
  • $Fe^{2+}$ (loses 2 electrons) becomes $3d^6$.
  • Ferrous ions ($Fe^{2+}$) are well known for their pale green color.
  • Match: (I)

(C) $Ti^{4+}$:

  • Titanium ($Ti$) has the configuration $[Ar] 3d^2 4s^2$.
  • $Ti^{4+}$ (loses 4 electrons) becomes $3d^0$.
  • Since there are no electrons in the $d$-orbitals, $d-d$ transitions are impossible, making the ion colorless.
  • Match: (III)

(D) $V^{2+}$:

  • Vanadium ($V$) has the configuration $[Ar] 3d^3 4s^2$.
  • $V^{2+}$ (loses 2 electrons) becomes $3d^3$.
  • The $V^{2+}$ ion typically exhibits a violet color in solution.
  • Match: (IV)
