    Which pair of compounds is expected to show similar colour in aqueous medium?

    A)  \[FeC{{l}_{2}}\] and \[MnC{{l}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[VOC{{l}_{2}}\] and \[CuC{{l}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[FeC{{l}_{3}}\] and \[CuC{{l}_{2}}\]  

    D)  \[VOC{{l}_{2}}\] and \[FeC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

        Colour of transition metal ion salt is due to d-d transition of unpaired electrons of d-orbital. Metal ion salt having similar number of unpaired electrons in d-orbitals show similar colour in aqueous medium. In \[VOC{{l}_{2}}\] Vanadium is present as \[{{V}^{4+}}\] and in \[CuC{{l}_{2}},\] copper is present as \[C{{u}^{2+}}.\] \[{{V}^{4+}}:\,1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{1}}:1\] unpaired \[{{e}^{-}}\] \[C{{u}^{2+}}:\,1{{s}^{2}}2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}}3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{9}}:1\] unpaired \[{{e}^{-}}\]
