MCQ
The color of $\mathrm{Cu}^{+}$ compounds is?
  • White
  • B
    Blue
  • C
    Orange
  • D
    Yellow

Answer

Correct option: A.
White
$\mathrm{Cu}^{+}$ compounds are generally colourless $($white$).$ The electronic configuration is $3 \mathrm{d}^{10} 4 \mathrm{~s}^0.$ So there is no unpaired electron present in the ion. So the electronic transition between two energy levels $\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}$ and $\mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}} ($responsible for the colour of transition metals$)$ is not possible.
