                    Which one of the following forms a colourless solution in aqueous medium?                                       (Atomic number: Sc = 21, Ti = 22, V = 23, Cr = 24)

    A)                 \[{{V}^{3+}}\]

    B)                 \[C{{r}^{3+}}\]

    C)                         \[T{{i}^{3+}}\]

    D)                 \[S{{c}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The electronic configuration of Sc is                 \[1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{6}}\,3{{d}^{1}},\,4{{s}^{2}}\]                         and configuration of  \[S{{c}^{3+}}\] is                 \[1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{6}}\]                         So, \[S{{c}^{3+}}\] is colourless due to absence of unpaired electrons in d-orbital.
