Among [Ag(NH(3))(2)]Cl, [Ni(CN)(4))^(2-)...

Among `[Ag(NH_(3))_(2)]Cl, [Ni(CN)_(4))^(2-)` and `[CuCl_(4)]^(2-)` which
remains colourless in aqueous solutions and why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`[Ag(NH_(3))_(2)]Cl` remains colourless in aqueous solution because `Ag^(+)` has no unpaired electron, therefore, it cannot undergo d-d transition.
`[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` also remains colourless as it does not have unpaired electrons.
