Sc3+ has 3d0 configuration, its colour will be
Correct answer: A. Colorless
- A. Colorless
- B. Purple
- C. Blue
- D. Green
Explanation
As colour of transition metals is due to d- transition of electrons but in ionic state Sc does not have electrons in it's d orbital as a result of which it will have no colours thus, it will be colourless.

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.
