  2. B \(\mathrm{V}^{2+}, \mathrm{Ti}^{3+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}, \mathrm{Mn}^{2+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}, \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}, \mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ions with \(\mathrm{d}^{\circ}\) and \(\mathrm{d}^{10}\) donot show d.d transitions, hence colorless
\[
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{Sc}^{+3}-[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{\circ} 4s^{\circ} \\
& \mathrm{Zn}^{+2}-[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{10} 4s^{\circ}
\end{aligned}
\]
