When degenerate d-orbitals of an isolated atom/ion come under influence of magnetic field of ligands, the degeneray is lost. The two set t_(2g)(d_(xy),d_(yz),d_(xz)) and e_(g) (d_(x^(2))-d_(x^(2)-y^(2)) are either stabilized or destabilized depending upon the nature of magnetic field. it can be expressed diagrammatically as: Value of CFSE depends upon nature of ligand and a spectrochemical series has been made experimentally, for tetrahedral complexes, Delta is about 4/9 times to Delta_(0) (CFSE for octahedral complex). this energy lies in visible region and i.e., why electronic transition are responsible for colour. such transition are not possible with d^(0) and d^(10) configuration. Q. Ti^(3+)(aq). is purple while Ti^(4+)(aq). is colourless because:

Answer»

there is not crystal FIELD effecin `Ti^(4+)`
The energy difference between `t_(2G) and e_(g) Ti^(4+)` is quite high and does not fall in the visible REGION
`Ti^(4+)` has `d^(0)` configuration
`Ti^(4+)` is very small in comparison to `Ti^(3+)` and hence does not absorb any radiation
