Generally transition elements from coloured salts due to the presence of unpaired electrons. Which of the following compounds will be coloured in solid state?

A

`Ag_(2)SO_(4)`

B

`CuF_(2)`

C

`ZnF_(2)`

D

`Cu_(2)Cl_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) `CuF_(2)` is coloured in the solid state since Cu(II) ion has an unpaired 3d electron. All other compounds do not have any unpaired electrons in their atoms. .
