The outer electronic configuration of Cu+ ion is 4S03d10 with this configuration the aqueous solution of copper (I) compound is:
Correct answer: D. Colourless
- A. Blue
- B. Greenish blue
- C. Bluish green
- D. Colourless
Explanation
Transition elements exhibit color due to d-d transition. d-d transition is possible only when the d subshell has unpaired electrons. Cu+ has filled the orbital: 4s0 3d10. Due to a lack of unpaired d- electrons Cu+ is colorless.
