Q28 / 125 · BITSAT 2014 · Chemistry

Which form coloured salts:

  • A
    Non-metals
  • B
    Metals
  • C
    p-block elements
  • Correct answer
    D
    Transitional elements

Solution

Most of the transition metal compounds (ionic as well as covalent) are coloured both in the solid state and in aqueous solution in contrast to the compounds of $s$ and $p$ -block elements due to the presence of incomplete d-subshell.

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