which of the following complex ions is expected to absorb visible light?
(At. no.Zn = 30, Sc = 21, Ti = 22, Cr = 24)
[Sc(H2O)(NH3)3]3+
[Ti(en)2(NH3)2]4+
[Cr(NH3)6]3+
[Cr(NH3)6]3+
D.
[Cr(NH3)6]3+
only those transition metal complexes are expected to absorb visible light, in which d-subshell is incomplete (ie, has unpaired electron) and excitation of an electron from a lower energy orbital to higher energy orbital is possible.
a) In [Sc(H2O)(NH3)3]3+ Sc is present in Sc3+ = [Ar]3d0,4s0
since in this complex excitation of the electron is not possible, it will not absorb visible light.
b) In [Ti(en)2(NH3)2]4+,Ti is present as Ti4+.
Ti4+ = [Ar] 3d0,4s0
Hence it will not absorb visible light.
c) In [Cr(NH3)6]3+ ,Cr is present as Cr3+
Cr3+ = [Ar]3d3,4s0
Since this complex has three unpaired electrons, excitation of electrons is possible and thus, it is expected that this complex will absorb visible light.
d) In [Zn(NH3)6]2+, Zn is present Zn2+
Zn2+ = [Ar] 3d10, 4s0
Hence, this complex will not absorb visible light.
