Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following transition metals is known for forming colored compounds due to d-d electron transitions?
  • Step 1: Understand what transition metals are. They are elements found in the d-block of the periodic table.
  • Step 2: Learn about d-orbitals. Transition metals have d-orbitals that can hold electrons.
  • Step 3: Know that colored compounds are formed when electrons in d-orbitals move between different energy levels.
  • Step 4: Identify that d-d electron transitions occur when an electron jumps from one d-orbital to another.
  • Step 5: Recognize that copper is a transition metal with partially filled d-orbitals, which allows it to form colored compounds.
