MCQ
Which of the following compound is coloured ?
  • A
    $TiCl_3$
  • B
    $FeCl_3$
  • C
    $CoCl_2$
  • All of these

Answer

Correct option: D.
All of these
d
The colour is due to presence of unpaired $d-$ electrons.

$Ti^{3+} = [Ar]\, 3d^1$ (one unpaired electron)

$Fe^{3+} = [Ar] \,3d^5$ (five unpaired electrons)

$Co^{2+} = [Ar]\, 3d^7$ (three unpaired electrons)

So all of them are coloured.
