a) Give the electronic configuration of the d-orbitals of Ti in `[Ti(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` ion in the otahedral crystal field. b) Why is this complex coloured. Explain on the basis of distribution of electrons in d-orbitals, |

Answer» a) In the octahedral complex, Ti is n `+3` oxidation state and has `(t_(2g))^1e_(g)^(0)` configuration of `Ti^(3+)` ion. b) The unpaired 3d-electrons is present in the `t_(2g)` level ointhe ground state. The next higher energy level available is `e_(g)`. Thus, there is d-d transition from `t_(2g)` to `e_(g)` `(t_(2_(g))o^1e_(g)^(0) tot_(2g)^0e_(g)^(1))`. This is responsible for the colour of the complex. |
