Question

How does a transition metal ion acquire a colour

Answer 1

Explanation:

Movement of electrons between shells.

Transition metal ions are not coloured on their own.

It is only when they form complexes with other ions or molecules that they become coloured.

In a transition metal, the d orbitals are degenerate — they all have the same energy.
