What does the excitation of an electron from a lower energy d orbital to a higher energy d orbital correspond to?
Options
- AThe color of the light absorbed
- BThe nature of the ligand
- CThe energy of excitation
- DThe frequency of light absorbed
Correct answer
D. The frequency of light absorbed
Step-by-step solution
When an electron is excited from a lower energy d orbital to a higher energy d orbital, the energy of excitation corresponds to the frequency of light absorbed.
