Which element from following forms colourless compounds in \(+2\) oxidation state?

  1. A \(\operatorname{Co}(\mathrm{Z}=27)\)
  2. B \(\operatorname{Zn}(\mathrm{Z}=30)\)
  3. C \(\operatorname{Cu}(Z=29)\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{Z}=25)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\operatorname{Zn}(\mathrm{Z}=30)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\operatorname{Zn}(Z=30)\)
\(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+} \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^{10}\) (No unpaired d-electron)
\(\therefore \mathrm{Zn}\) forms colourless compounds in \(+2\) oxidation state.
