The aqueous solution containing which one of the following ions will be colourless ? (Atomic no. Sc=21,Fe=26,Ti=22,Mn=25\mathrm{Sc}=21, \mathrm{Fe}=26, \mathrm{Ti}=22, \mathrm{Mn}=25 )

Options

  1. ASc3+\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}
  2. BFe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}
  3. CTi3+\mathrm{Ti}^{3+}
  4. DMn2+\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}

Correct answer

A. Sc3+\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}

Step-by-step solution

21Sc=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d1,4s2 So, Sc3+=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p6\begin{aligned} & { }_{21} \mathrm{Sc}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^1, 4 s^2 \\ & \text{ So, } S c^{3+}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6\end{aligned} (It is colourless due to absence of unpaired electrons in dd-stubshell) 26Fe=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d6,4s2Fe2+=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d6\begin{aligned} & { }_{26} \mathrm{Fe}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^6, 4 s^2 \\ & \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^6\end{aligned} (It is coloured due to presence of four unpaired electrons in dd-subshell.) 22Ti=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d2,4s2Ti3+=1s2,2s22p6,3s2,3s63d1\begin{gathered}{ }_{22} \mathrm{Ti}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^2, 4 s^2 \mathrm{Ti}^{3+}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2, 3 s^6 3 d^1\end{gathered} (It is coloured due to presence of one unpaired electron in dd-subshell). 25Mn=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d5,4s2Mn2+=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d5\begin{aligned} & 25 \mathrm{Mn}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^5, 4 s^2 \\ & \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}=1 s^2, 2 s^2 2 p^6, 3 s^2 3 p^6 3 d^5\end{aligned} (It is coloured due to presence of five unpaired electrons in dd-subshell)
