    Which ion is colorless?

    A)  \[C{{r}^{4+}}\]

    B)  \[S{{c}^{3+}}\]

    C)  \[T{{i}^{3+}}\]              

    D)  \[{{V}^{4+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    d-d transition is responsible for colour of compound. For d-d transition ions have unpaired electrons in d-orbital. \[S{{c}^{3+}}\] has no electrons in d-orbital, so d-d transition is not possible, hence, \[S{{c}^{3+}}\] ion is colourless.
