    Amongst \[TiF_{6}^{2-},CoF_{6}^{3-},C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]and \[NiCl_{4}^{2-}\]at. no.\[Ti=22,Co=27,Cu=29,Ni=28\]). The. colourless species are

    A)  \[CoF_{6}^{3-}\]and \[NiCl_{4}^{2-}\]

    B)  \[TiF_{6}^{2-}\]and \[CoF_{6}^{3-}\]

    C) \[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\] and \[NiCl_{4}^{2-}\]

    D)  \[TiF_{6}^{2-}\] and \[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Transitional metals ions having unpaired electrons are coloured while those which have no unpaired electron are colourless. \[Ti{{F}_{6}}^{2-}:\] \[T{{i}^{4+}}:[Ar]\,3{{d}^{0}};0\]unpaired electron; colourless \[C{{u}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\] \[C{{u}^{+}}:[Ar]\,\,3{{d}^{10}};0\]unpaired electron; colourless \[Co{{F}_{6}}^{3-}:\] \[C{{o}^{3+}}:[Ar]\,3{{d}^{6}};4\]unpaired electrons; coloured \[NiCl_{4}^{2-}\] \[N{{i}^{2+}}:[Ar]\,3{{d}^{8}};2\]unpaired electrons; coloured
