Which of the following ions are coloured in solution? |
Zn2+ Ti4+ Cu+ V3+ |
V3+ |
V3+ is coloured in the solution because it contains unpaired electrons in (n-1)d shell which will help in d-d transition. 30Zn : [Ar]4s23d10 ; Zn2+ : [Ar]3d10 22Ti : [Ar]4s23d2 ; Ti4+ : [Ar] 29Cu : [Ar]4s13d10 ; Cu+ : [Ar]3d10 23V : [Ar]4s23d3 ; V3+ : [Ar]3d2 |
