Which of the following ions will exhibit colour in aqueous solutions?
- ALa3+ (Z = 57)
- BTi3+ (Z = 22)
- CLu3+ (Z = 71)
- DSe3+ (Z = 21)

Correct answer: B
La3+ : 54 e– = [Xe]
Ti3+ : 19 e– = [Ar] 4s03d1 (Colour)
Lu3+ : 68 e– = [Xe] 4f14
Sc3+ : 18 e– = [Ar]
As ions which have unpaired electrons exhibit colour
in solution.
Ti3+ has an outer electronic configuration
of 4s03d1
, i.e., 1 unpaired electron.
Thus its solution will be coloured.
