The colour of transition metal compound is due to

Question

The colour of transition metal compound is due to (A) complete ns subshell (B) small size metal ions (C) incomplete (n-1) d subshell (D) absorption of light in UV region

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Most of the compounds of transition metals are coloured in solid state or solution. This is due to their incomplete (n-1) d- subshell. Their colour arises from the excitation of electron from d-orbitals of lower energy to d- orbitals of higher energy (i.e., d-d transition).

Q. The colour of transition metal compound is due to

complete ns subshell

small size metal ions

incomplete $(n - 1) d$ subshell

absorption of light in $U V$ region

Most of the compounds of transition metals are coloured in solid state or solution. This is due to their incomplete $(n - 1)$ $d -$ subshell. Their colour arises from the excitation of electron from d-orbitals of lower energy to $d -$ orbitals of higher energy (i.e., $d - d$ transition).

Most of the compounds of transition metals are coloured in solid state or solution. This is due to their incomplete (n−1) d− subshell. Their colour arises from the excitation of electron from d-orbitals of lower energy to d− orbitals of higher energy (i.e., d−d transition).
