MCQ
Colour in transition metal compounds is attributed to:
  • A
    Small size of metal ions.
  • B
    Absorption of light in UV region.
  • C
    Complete (ns) subshell.
  • D
    Incomplete (n−1)d subshell.
✓

Answer

  1. Incomplete (n−1)d subshell.

Explanation:

Any compound or ion showing colour is due to presence of unpaired electron. Transition metal compounds have incomplete (n-1)d sub shell and because of that they have unpaired electron and  thus they show colour.
