    Which of the following sets of ions are colour less?

    A) \[Z{{n}^{2+}},C{{u}^{2+}},T{{i}^{3+}},C{{o}^{2+}}\]

    B) \[Z{{n}^{2+}},C{{r}^{+}},T{{i}^{4+}},{{V}^{2+}}\]

    C) \[C{{r}^{3+}},M{{n}^{2+}},Z{{n}^{2+}},T{{i}^{4+}}\]

    D) \[M{{n}^{7+}},C{{r}^{6+}},C{{u}^{+}},{{V}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Ions of elements which have paired electrons or no electrons in d-orbitals are colourless.
    The electronic configuration of the elements are as follows:
    \[Z{{n}^{2+}}=[Ar]3{{d}^{10}}4{{s}^{0}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]Paired d-electrons.
    \[C{{r}^{+}}=[Ar]3{{d}^{10}}4{{s}^{0}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]Paired d-electrons.
    \[T{{i}^{4+}}=[Ar]\,3{{d}^{0}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]No d-electrons.
    \[{{V}^{2+}}=[Ar]\,3{{d}^{0}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]No d-electrons.
    Thus, the set of above ions are colourless.
