What is the difference between dd transition and charge transfer transition
The difference between d-d transition and charge transfer (CT) transition are as follows In the d-d transition, the transition occurs between the d orbitals of the metal. Charge transfer transition…
Read more Why is [Ti(H2O)6)] 3+ violet in colour ?
In [Ti(H2O)6)]3+, Ti3+ ion has only one electron in 3d-orbital. The electron occupies the orbital of the lowest energy, i.e., any one of the degenerate t2g orbitals. The violet/purple colour…
Read more How Mn2+(aq) ion gives light pink colour ?
In high spin octahedral d5 complexes like [Mn(H2O)6]2+, Mn2+ ion has five unpaired electrons which are filled parallelly in all the t2g and eg orbitals. Since any d-d transition involves…
Read more What is the reason for the colour of potassium dichromate?
The reason for the colour of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) is ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) transition. In Cr2O72-, Cr is in +6 oxidation state and have all the 3d-orbitals…
Read more Why is Δo the double of Δt ?
The crystal field splitting in octahedral complexes (Δo) is double than that in tetrahedral complexes (Δt) (i.e., Δo is double of Δt) because: (i) The number of ligands is 2/3…
Read more Why tetrahedral complexes are high spin ?
Tetrahedral complexes are high spin because (i) Δt = 4/9 Δo, i.e., tetrahedral crystal field splitting is half the crystal field splitting in octahedral complexes. (ii) Δt is always less…
Read more What are the postulates of crystal field theory ?
The postulates of crystal field theory are Ionic ligands such as Cl–, OH–, CN– are regarded as negative point charges (or simply point charges) and the neutral ligands such as…
