Ncert Exercises & Solutions

The coloured compound among the following in the solid state is-

\(1. \ \mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \\ 2. \ C u F_{2} \\ 3. \ Z n F_{2} \\ 4. \ \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \\\)

Hint: If unpaired electron is present in the central atom then it will show coloured

Transition elements form coloured salt due to the presence of unpaired electrons.

In Ag₂SO₄, Ag oxidation state is +1. It is a d¹⁰ system, does not contains unpaired electron hence, does not show any colour.

In ZnF₂ , Zn oxidation state is +2. It is a d¹⁰ system, does not contains unpaired electron hence, does not show any colour.

InCu₂Cl₂, Cu oxidation state is +1. It is a d¹⁰ system, does not contains unpaired electron hence, does not show any colour.

In CuF₂

{^{}}_{}

, Cu oxidation state is +2. It is a d⁹ system, and contains one unpaired electron hence,

C u F_{2}

, is coloured in solid state.
