Which of the following forms a colourless solution in aqueous medium? @@
Options
- ATi ³⁺
- BSc ³⁺
- CV ³⁺
- DCr ³⁺
Correct answer
B. Sc ³⁺
Step-by-step solution
The electronic configuration of Sc is 1 s⁸ 2 s⁸ 2 p⁶ 3 s² 3 p⁶ 3 d¹ 4 s² Electronic configuration of Sc ³⁺ is 1 s² 2 s² 2 p⁶ 3 s² 3 p⁶ . So , Sc ³⁺ is colourless due to the absence of unpuired electrons in d -orbital.
