Question

why mn2+is colourless​

Answer 1

Answer:

The complexes with d5 configuration of Mn are centrosymmetric (having center of symmetry) and therefore d-d transition in these complexes is not allowed. The colour of the complex which is due to d-d transition is thus not present in Mn. Hence, they are almost colourless.

This is your answer.
