    Which one of the following forms a colourless solution in aqueous medium? (Atomic number\[Sc=21,\text{ }Ti=22,\]\[\text{ }V=23,Cr=24\])

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