JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

The color of \(KMnO_4\) is due to :

  1. A \(L\to M\) charge transfer transition
  2. B \(\sigma - \sigma ^*\) transition
  3. C \(M\to L\) charge transfer transition
  4. D \(d - d\) transition
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(L\to M\) charge transfer transition

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(K M n O_{4} \rightarrow K^{+}+M n O_{4}^{-}\) \(\therefore \ln M n O_{4}^{-},\) Mn has \(+7\) oxidation state having no electron in d-orbitals. It ts considered that higher the oxidation state of metal, greater is the tendency to occur \(L \rightarrow M\) charge transfer,…
