    Which one of the following forms a colourless solution in aqueous medium? (Atomic number\[Sc=21,\,\,Ti=22,\,V=23,Cr=24\])

    A)  \[{{V}^{3+}}\]

    B)  \[C{{r}^{3+}}\]

    C)  \[T{{i}^{3+}}\]

    D)  \[S{{c}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The electronic configuration of Sc is \[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}},2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{1}},4{{s}^{2}}\] and configuration of \[S{{c}^{3+}}\] is \[1{{s}^{2}},2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}\] So, \[S{{c}^{3+}}\] is colourless due to the absence of unpaired electrons in d-orbital.
