Question
Transition elements form coloured ions due to
Options
A.d-d transition
B.fully filled d-orbitals
C.smaller atomic radii
D.availability of s-electrons
Solution
Trasition elements form coloured ions due to d-d transitions. In the presencr ofligands, there is splitting of energy levelsof d-orbitals. They no longer remain degenerated. So, electronic transition may occur between two d-orbitals.
