Au(I) is diamagnetic, while Au(III) has ...

Au(I) is diamagnetic, while Au(III) has a magnetic moment of 2.95 BM. Predict the colour of aurous and auric ions?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Au.(5d^(10))` ion is colourless due to the absence of unpaired d - electron. `Au^(3+) (5d^8)` ion is coloured due to the presence of unpaired d- electrons and d-d transitions.
