The dand fblock elements - Result Question 15
####15. Which of the following ions will exhibit colour in aqueous solutions?
[2010]
(a) $La^{3+}(Z=57)$
(b) $Ti^{3+}(Z=22)$
(c) $Lu^{3+}(Z=71)$
(d) $Sc^{3+}(Z=21)$
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) $La^{3+}: 54 e^{-}=[Xe]$
$To^{3+}: 19 e^{-}=[Ar] 3 d^{1}$ (Colour)
$Lu^{3+}: 68 e^{-}=[Xe] 4 f^{14}$
$Sc^{3+}: 18 e^{-}=[Ar]$
