Why do the ions of d block elements are coloured? |
|
Answer» During this d – d transition PROCESS the ELECTRONS absorb certain energy from the radiation and emit the remainder of energy as coloured LIGHT. The colour of ion is COMPLEMENTARY of colour absorbed by it. Hence coloured ion is formed due to d – d transition which falls in the visible region for all transition elements. |
