Why cuso4 appears blue in tetraamminecopper-iisulphate-iwater?

Answer»

Anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO4) is white, which means that it does not absorb LIGHT in the VISIBLE region of the spectrum. The HYDRATED copper sulfate (CuSO4 - 5H2O) is blue. ... The oxygen of each water molecule SHARES one pair of electrons with the central copper ion.
