Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following ions is colored in solution?
Correct Answer: Cu2+
  • Step 1: Understand that some metal ions can produce color when dissolved in water.
  • Step 2: Identify that transition metal ions, like Cu2+, often have color due to their electronic structure.
  • Step 3: Learn about d-d transitions, which are movements of electrons between different energy levels in the d-orbitals of transition metals.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when light hits these ions, some wavelengths are absorbed, and the remaining light is what we see as color.
  • Step 5: Conclude that Cu2+ ions are colored in solution because they can undergo d-d transitions.
