Eventhough Cu^(2+) has one unpaired d - ...

Eventhough `Cu^(2+)` has one unpaired d - electron, anhydrous copper sulphate is colourless. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Crystal field splitting is absent in anhydrous `CuSO_(4)` due to the absence of water. Hence d - d transition is not possible. Thus anhydrous `CuSO_(4)` is colourless.
