Which of the following is a correct statement?

Options

  1. AAqueous solutions of Cu ⁺ and Zn ²⁺ are colourless
  2. BAqueous solutions of Cu ²⁺ and Zn ²⁺ are colourless
  3. CAqueous solution of Fe ³⁺ is green in colour
  4. DAqueous solution of MnO ₄⁻ is colourless

Correct answer

A. Aqueous solutions of Cu ⁺ and Zn ²⁺ are colourless

Step-by-step solution

(a) Cu ⁺=[ Ar ] 3 d¹⁰ (No unpaired electrons, so it is colourless) Zn ²⁺=[ Ar ] 3 d¹⁰ (No unpaired electrons, so it is colourless) (b) Cu ²⁺=[ Ar ] 3 d^9 (One unpaired electron is present, so it is coloured) Zn ²⁺ is colourless. (c) The colour of Fe ²⁺ is green while that of Fe ³⁺ is blue. (d) MnO ₄⁻ contains no unpaired electrons, however, it is coloured due to charge transfer. Thus, only statement given in option (a) is correct.
