NEETChemistryd and f Block Elements
In which region does the frequency of light absorbed generally lie when an electron is excited from a lower energy d orbital to a higher energy d orbital?
Options
- AUltraviolet region
- BInfrared region
- CVisible region
- DMicrowave region
Correct answer
C. Visible region
Step-by-step solution
When an electron from a lower energy d orbital is excited to a higher energy d orbital, the energy of excitation corresponds to the frequency of light absorbed. This frequency generally lies in the visible region.
