Which of the following complex ions is not expected to absorb visible light?
[Ni(CN)4]2-
[Cr(NH3)6]3+
[Fe(H2O)6]2+
[Fe(H2O)6]2+
A.
[Ni(CN)4]2-
For the absorption of visible light, the presence of unpaired d- electrons is the necessity.
a) In [Ni(CN)4]2- , Ni is present as Ni2+
Ni2+ = [Ar] 3d8 4s0
Therefore, [Ni(CN)4]2- = 
(pairing occurs because CN- is a strong field ligand).
Since in [NiCN)4]2-, no unpaired electron is present in d- orbitals, it does not absorb visible light.
(b) In [Cr(NH3)6]3+, [Fe(H2O)6]2+ [Ni(H2O)6]2+ has unpaired electrons such as
[Cr(NH3)6]3+ Cr3+ = Have three unpaired electron
[Fe(H2O)6]2+ Fe2+ = Have four unpaired electrons
[Ni(H2O)6]2+ Ni2+ = Have two unpaired electrons
