Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \({[V{(N{H_3})_6}]^{3 + }}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The absorption of visible light and hence coloured nature of the transition metal cation is due to the promotion of one or more unpaired \(-\,d\,-\) electron from a lower to higher will be the number of unpaired electron higher will be the absorption in visible light. The…
