MCQ
Which of the following compounds is not coloured ?
  • A
    $Na_2[CuCl_4]$
  • $Na_2[CdCl_2]$
  • C
    $K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$
  • D
    $K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Na_2[CdCl_2]$
b
The outer shell electronic configuration of $Cu ^{2+}$ has $3 d ^9$ configuration and contain $1$ unpaired electron, thus it is coloured.

$Na _2\left[ CdCl _2\right]$, compound is not coloured because of central atom $Cd$ which has $4 d ^{10} 5 s ^2$ electronic configuration so transition do not occur.
