Which of the following complex ions is expected to absorb visible light?
(At. nos. Zn = 30, Sc = 21, Ti = 22, Cr = 24)
(At. nos. Zn = 30, Sc = 21, Ti = 22, Cr = 24)
- A[Ti(en)2(NH3)2]4+
- B[Cr(NH3)6]3+
- C[Zn(NH3)6]2+
- D[Sc(H2O)3(NH3)3]3+
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
In [Cr(NH3)6]3+, Cr is present as Cr+3
Cr+3 = [Ar] 3d34s0

Due to presence of 3 unpaired electrons it absorbs light of visible region.
