Which of the following complex ions is expected to absorb visible light ? (At no. Zn =30, Sc =21, Ti =22, Cr =24 )
Options
- A[ Zn ( NH ₃ )₆ ]²⁺
- B[ Sc ( H ₂ O )₃ ( NH ₃ )₃ ]³⁺
- C[ Ti ( en )₂ ( NH ₃ )₂ ]⁴⁺
- D[ Cr ( NH ₃ )₆ ]³⁺
Correct answer
D. [ Cr ( NH ₃ )₆ ]³⁺
Step-by-step solution
Cr ³⁺ Is ^2, 2 ~s ^2 2 p ^6, 3 ~s ^2 3 p ^6 3 ~d ^3 Unpaired electron shows colour so absorb visible light.
