Assertion (A) : ` SnI_4` is an orange solid .
Reason (R) : The colour arises due to charge transfer .

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reasonb is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The orange colour of `Snl_(4)` is caused by the absorption of blue light, the reflected light thus containing a higher propertion of red and orange. The energy absorbed in this way causes the transfer of an electron from I to Sn. Since transferring an electron to another atom is transferring a charge, such spectra are called charge transfer spectra.
