Question

The aqueous solution containing which one of the following ions will be colourless?
[Atomic number of Sc=21, Fe=26, Ti=22, Mn=25]

  1. Sc3+
  2. Ti3+
  3. Fe2+
  4. Mn2+

A
Sc3+
B
Fe2+
C
Mn2+
D
Ti3+
Solution
Verified by Toppr

(a) 21Sc3+=1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6
It is colourless due to absence of unpaired electrons in d-subshell.

(b) 26Fe2+=1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p63d6
It has colour due to presence of four unpaired electrons in d-subshell.

(c)22Ti3+=1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p63d1
It has colour due to presence of one unpaired electrons in d-subshell.

(d) 25Mn2+=1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p63d5
It has colour due to presence of 5 unpaired electrons in d-subshell.

Hence, option A is correct.
