Q82 / 197 · NEET 2009 (Mains) · Chemistry

Out of $\mathrm{TiF}_6^{2-}$ and $\mathrm{CoF}_6^{3-}, \mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2$ and $\mathrm{NiCl}_4^{2-}$ ( $\mathrm{Z}$ of $\mathrm{Ti}=22, \mathrm{Co}=27, \mathrm{Cu}=29, \mathrm{Ni}=28)$ the colourless species are :

  • A
    $\mathrm{CoF}_6^{3-}$ and $\mathrm{NiCl}_4^{2-}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{TiF}_6^{2-}$ and $\mathrm{CoF}_6^{3-}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2$ and $\mathrm{NiCl}_4^{2-}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\mathrm{TiF}_6^{2-}$ and $\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2$

Solution

In both $\mathrm{TiF}_6^{2-}$ and $\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2$, these no $\mathrm{d}-$ electrons or no unpaired electrons so, these are colourless.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
