Which among the following cations will not form coloured compounds?
(Atomic number \(\mathrm{Cu}=29, \mathrm{Ti}=22, \mathrm{~V}=23, \mathrm{Mn}=25\) )

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}\)ion will not form coloured aqueous solution as it does not contain unpaired electrons. \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}\)ion with \(3 \mathrm{~d}^{10}\) outer electronic configuration has zero unpaired electrons.
