Subjective Type

Predict which of the following will be coloured in aqueous solution? $$Ti^{3+}, V^{3+}, Cu^{+}, Sc^{3+}, Mn^{2+}, Fe^{3+}$$ and $$Co^{2+}$$. Give reasons for each

Solution

Transition metal ions with incompletely filled d orbitals are colored and those with completely filled d orbitals (or vacant d orbitals) are colorless.
$$\displaystyle Ti^{3+}, V^{3+}, Mn^{2+}$$ and $$\displaystyle Co^{2+}$$ are colored due to d-d transition in incompletely filled d orbitals.
$$\displaystyle Cu^{+}, Sc^{3+} $$ are colorless due to completely filled and empty d orbitals respectively.
