Will there be any change in colour of the compound formed, if `[Ti(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3)` is heated ?

Explanation

If `[Ti(H_(2)O)_(6)]Cl_(3)` is heated gradually, the metal separates itself from the ligands `(H_(2)O)` and forms `TiCl_(3)`. As `TiCl_(3)` is an ionic compound, the inner d - orbitals of `Ti^(3+)` ion does not undergo crystal field splitting and hence, `drarrd` transition of electrons does not take place. Thus the compound obtained appears colourless.
