    \[AgCl\] is colourless whereas \[AgI\] is yellow because of

    A)  \[A{{g}^{+}}\]possess 18 electrons shell to screen the nuclear charge

    B)  \[A{{g}^{+}}\] shows pseudo inert gas configuration

    C)  distortion of \[{{I}^{-}}\] is more pronounced than \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ion

    D)  existence of d-d transition

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[AgCl\] is colourless whereas \[AgI\] is yellow because distortion of \[{{I}^{-}}\] is more pronounced than \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ion hence greater polarisation of electron cloud takes place in \[AgI\] which cause colour.
