Question

Preparation and feature of 5 coloured compounds

Answer 1

Explanation:

The vast majority of simple inorganic (e.g. sodium chloride) and organic compounds (e.g. ethanol) are colorless. Transition metal compounds are often colored because of transitions of electrons between d-orbitals of different energy.The compounds of a number of metals—most commonly iron, chromium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese—do, however, produce coloured salts. These metals are the transition elements, which contain unpaired electrons in their compounds. The color of ion is complementary of the color absorbed by it.
