The correct set of ions (aqueous solution) with same colour from the following is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Use the electronic configuration and number of unpaired electrons to infer colour
In aqueous solution, the colour of transition metal ions mainly arises due to - transitions. Ions with similar configurations often show similar colours, and ions with or are generally colourless. -
Check each ion in the options
Option A:
-
:
-
:
-
:
Known aqueous colours:
- : violet
- : violet (or green depending on complex/hydration, but commonly violet in aqueous hydrated form)
- : violet
So these are taken as same colour.
Option B:
- → colourless
- (as vanadyl ion) → blue
- → pale pink
These are not same colour.
Option C:
- → colourless
- → purple/violet
- → blue
These are not same colour.
Option D:
- → colourless
- → green
- → yellow/brown
These are not same colour.
- Conclusion
The only set considered to have the same colour in aqueous solution is:
So the correct option is A.
