Which one of the following complexes will most likely absorb visible light?
(Atomic numbers: Sc = 21, Ti = 22, V = 23, Zn = 30)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:



The two electrons present in t2gorbitals can show d-d transitions between t2gand egorbitals by absorbing visible light as CFSE is not very high due to weak NH3ligand field in an octahedral geometry

2 1 Sc 3 + 3 d 2 2 Ti 4 + 3 d 3 0 Zn 2 + 3 d 1 0 }

Configurations and d-d transitions leading to colouration etc, are not feasible.
