The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding Titanium (IV) in aqueous solutions, we can break down the information step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that Titanium (IV) in aqueous solutions is colorless. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason given is that Titanium (IV) has no electrons in the d-subshell. ### Step 3: Analyzing Titanium's Electronic Configuration Titanium (Ti) has an atomic number of 22. Its electronic configuration is: - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d² 4s² When Titanium loses four electrons to form Ti(IV), the electrons are removed first from the 4s subshell and then from the 3d subshell. The configuration for Ti(IV) becomes: - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁰ 4s⁰ ### Step 4: Identifying the d-Electron Count In the Ti(IV) state, there are no electrons in the d-subshell (3d⁰). ### Step 5: Relating Electron Configuration to Color The color of transition metal ions in solution is often due to the presence of unpaired d-electrons. Since Ti(IV) has no d-electrons, it cannot exhibit any color. ### Conclusion Both the assertion and reason are true: - Assertion (A): Ti(IV) in aqueous solutions is colorless. - Reason (R): Ti(IV) has no electrons in the d-subshell, which explains why it is colorless. ### Final Answer Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
