Formation of coloured solution is possible when metal ion in the compound contain

A

lone pair of electrons

B

unpaired electrons

C

paired electrons

D

none of these.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For the formation of coloured solution, metal ion in the compound should contain unpaired electrons.On absorbing visible light, unpaired electrons.On absorbing visible light, unpaired electron can jump form ground state to the excited state.The transmitted and reflected light appears coloured and gives colour to compound.
