These questions consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering these questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses:
Assertion: `[Ti(H_2O)_6]^(3+)` is coloured while `[Sc(H_2O)_6]^(3+)` is colourless.
Reason: d-d transition is not possible in `[Sc(H_2O)_6]^(3+)`.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. `[Sc(H_2O)_6]^(3+)` has no unpaired electron in its d subshell and thus d–d transition is not possible whereas `[Ti(H_2O)_6]^(3+)` has one unpaired electron in its d subshell which gives rise to d–d transition to impart colour.
