Identify the oxidation states of titanium $$(Z=22)$$ and copper $$(Z=29)$$ in their colourless compounds:

A$$Ti^{3+}, Cu^{2+}$$
B$$Ti^{2+}, Cu^{2+}$$
C$$Ti^{4+}, Cu^{+}$$
Correct Answer
D$$Ti^{4+}, Cu^{2+}$$

Solution

The oxidation states of titanium $$(Z=22)$$ and copper $$(Z=29)$$ in their colourless compounds are $$Ti^{4+}, Cu^{+}$$ respectively.

The electronic configurations are given below.
$$ \displaystyle Ti : [Ar] 4s^23d^2$$
$$ \displaystyle Ti^{4+} : [Ar] 4s^03d^0$$

$$ \displaystyle Cu : [Ar] 4s^13d^{10}$$
$$ \displaystyle Cu^+ : [Ar] 4s^03d^{10}$$

The above electronic configurations of ions correspond to zero unpaired electrons.
