Colour of the transition metal ions/compounds is due to the electrons present in:
Correct answer: A. d-orbital
- A. d-orbital
- B. s-orbital
- C. p-orbital
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Explanation:The color of the transition metal ions/compounds is due to the electrons present in d-orbital. The s-orbitals are typically filled with electrons in the ground state of an atom, and they are not involved in the color of transition metal ions/compounds. The p-orbitals are also typically filled with electrons in the ground state of an atom, and they are not directly involved in the color of transition metal ions/compounds.

About Electronic Structure of d-Block Elements
The electronic structure of d-block elements covers the filling of the (n-1)d and ns orbitals, general electronic configurations, and the exceptions shown by chromium and copper. It explains how partially filled d orbitals produce variable oxidation states, coloured ions, magnetic behaviour and complex formation, while distinguishing transition elements from elements with completely filled d subshells.
