Coordination Compounds - Result Question 55

####62. Which of the following complex ions is expected to absorb visible light?

[2009]

(a) [Ti(en)2(NH3)2]4+

(b) [Cr(NH3)6]3+

(c) [Zn(NH3)6]2+

(d) [Sc(H2O)3(NH3)3]3+

(At. no. Zn=30,Sc=21,Ti=22,Cr=24 )

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) Since Cr3+ in the complex has unpaired electrons in the d orbital, hence will be coloured Ti=[Ar]3d24s2 Ti4+=3d0

Cr=[Ar]3d54s1

Cr3+=3d3

Zn=[Ar]3d104s2;Zn2+=3d10Sc=[Ar]3d14s2;Sc3+=3d0
