The colour of `KMnO_(4)` is due to

A

L `to` M charge transfer transition

B

`sigma to sigma`* transition

C

`M to L` charge transfer transition

D

d-d transition

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In `KMnO_4`, Mn is in +7 oxidation state having `d^0` configuration. So it can not show d-d transition. The colour of `KMnO_4` is due to charge transfer spectra from ligand (L) to metal (M) i.e. L` to ` M.
