    Among the following the compound that is both paramagnetic and coloured is:

    A)  \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]

    B)  \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}[TiC{{l}_{6}}]\]

    C)  \[VOS{{O}_{4}}\]

    D)  \[{{K}_{3}}[Cu{{(CN)}_{4}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[VOS{{O}_{4}}\] is paramagnetic as well as coloured compound. The oxidation state of vanadium in \[VOS{{O}_{4}}\] is +4. \[V[Z=23]=[Ar]3{{d}^{3}}4{{s}^{2}}\] \[{{V}^{4+}}[Z=23]=[Ar]3{{d}^{1}}4{{s}^{0}}\] It has one unpaired electron hence, it is paramagnetic in nature.
