Correct answer

C. TiF62−\mathrm{TiF}_6^{2-} and Cu2Cl2\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea Species without unpaired electrons are colourless because transition of electron is not passible. (a) In TiF62−,Ti\mathrm{TiF}_6^{2-}, \mathrm{Ti} is present as Ti4+\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}. Ti4+=[Ar]\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}=[\mathrm{Ar}]3 \mathrm{~d}^0 4 \mathrm{~s}^0 Hence, TiF62−\mathrm{TiF}_6^{2-} is colourless. (b) In CoF63−\mathrm{CoF}_6^{3-}, Co is present as Co3+<imgsrc="/api/proxy−image?url=https\mathrm{Co}^{3+}<img src="/api/proxy-image?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffirebasestorage.googleapis.com%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fquantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app%2Fo%2Fquestions%252Ffigs%252Fpyq%252Fneet%252FhXMTQ4tiMAMuNc2XKGk5Z5apIaU_kI2ePl9n62imQwk.original.fullsize.png%3Falt%3Dmedia&clean=1&v=wm2" data-qx-orig-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fneet%2FhXMTQ4tiMAMuNc2XKGk5Z5apIaU_kI2ePl9n62imQwk.original.fullsize.png?alt=media" data-qx-storage-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fneet%2FhXMTQ4tiMAMuNc2XKGk5Z5apIaU_kI2ePl9n62imQwk.original.fullsize.png?alt=media"> \\ Due to presence of unpaired electrons, CoF63−\mathrm{CoF}_6^{3-} is coloured.
