The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds is colored, we need to analyze the oxidation states of copper in each compound and their electronic configurations. The presence of unpaired d-electrons in transition metal complexes is what typically leads to color due to d-d transitions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds:** - CuCl - K3Cu(CN)4 - CuF2 - Cu(CH3CN)4BF4 2. **Analyze CuCl:** - In CuCl, copper is in the +1 oxidation state (Cu^+). - The electronic configuration of Cu^+ (which has 29 electrons) is [Ar] 3d^10. - Since Cu^+ has a full d-subshell (d^10), there are no unpaired electrons, and thus, it cannot undergo d-d transitions. - **Conclusion:** CuCl is colorless. 3. **Analyze K3Cu(CN)4:** - In K3Cu(CN)4, copper is also in the +1 oxidation state (Cu^+). - Similar to CuCl, Cu^+ has a configuration of [Ar] 3d^10. - Again, there are no unpaired electrons, leading to no d-d transitions. - **Conclusion:** K3Cu(CN)4 is colorless. 4. **Analyze CuF2:** - In CuF2, copper is in the +2 oxidation state (Cu^2+). - The electronic configuration of Cu^2+ (which has 27 electrons) is [Ar] 3d^9. - Cu^2+ has one unpaired electron in the d-orbital, allowing for d-d transitions. - **Conclusion:** CuF2 is colored. In crystalline form, it appears blue. 5. **Analyze Cu(CH3CN)4BF4:** - In Cu(CH3CN)4BF4, copper is again in the +1 oxidation state (Cu^+). - As previously noted, Cu^+ has a configuration of [Ar] 3d^10. - There are no unpaired electrons, resulting in no d-d transitions. - **Conclusion:** Cu(CH3CN)4BF4 is colorless. 6. **Final Conclusion:** - Among the given compounds, the only colored compound is **CuF2**.
