Q48 / 214 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Coordination Compounds

Which one of the following ions will give a coloured solution?

  • A
    Cu+
  • Correct answer
    B
    Fe2+
  • C
    Zn2+
  • D
    Ag+

Solution

Since Fe2+ has unpaired electrons so, d-d transitions would take place and hence, its solution would be coloured.
Cu+→3d10
Fe2+→3d6
Zn2+→3d10
Ag+→4d10

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