Identify the metal that froms colourless compounds.A. Iron (Z = 26)B. Chromium (Z = 24)C. Vanadium (Z = 23)D. Scandium (Z -21)

Answer» Correct Answer - D
d-block elements show +3 as the most common oxidation state. For scandium (Z =21), electronic configuration is `d^1s^2`. After the removal of +3 electrons
`(Sc^(3+))`, it acquires a stable configuration `(d^0)`.
Hence, it forms colourless compounds.
