Questions
Statement-I : Anhydrous CuSO4 is blue coloured
Statement-II : CuSO4.5H2O is colourless
detailed solution
Correct option is D
Cu+2(3d9) have one unpaired electron. Presence of unpaired electron is not the only condition for a substance to exhibit colour. The ligands (H2O molecules) are absent in anhydrous CuSO4. So the degenracy of 3d orbitals is unaffect. So there is no possibility of d-d transitions. No energy changes occur.∴anhydrous CuSO4 is colourless.In CuSO4 .5H2O, the ligands (H2O molecules) split the 3d orbitals into two sets of orbitals t2g and eg. The unpaired electron undergoes d-d transitions due to which the complex absorbs red colour and emits blue-green colour.Similar Questions
