Most of the compounds of transition metlas are coloured in solid state of solutions. The transition metals which have either completely filled d-orbitals or completely empty d-orbitals are colourless. The colour of transition metal is due to(a) presence of unpaired d-electrons(b) small size(c) metallic nature(d) All of these

Answer»

Correct Option (a) presence of unpaired d-electrons

Explanation :

Unpaired electrons undergo excitation from lower energy level to higher energy level, hence causes color to transition metal ions. Then, phenomenon is called d-d transition.
