Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Aqueous solutions of \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}\)and \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\) are colourless

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^{10}\) (No unpaired electrons, so it is colourless) \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^{10}\) (No unpaired electrons, so it is colourless) (b) \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^9\) (One unpaired electron is present, so it is coloured)…
