Explanation:
 Vanadium yellow-green 
 Chrome emerald green 
 Iron Coke bottle green 
 Manganese amethyst 
 Cobalt violet blue 
 Copper greenish blue to blue 
 Nickel grayish brown 
 Selenium salmon pink 
 Cerium- Titanium yellow 
 Neodymium dichroic violet-pink

Which of the ions will give colorless aqueous solution?

  1. ${Ni}^{2+}$

  2. ${Fe}^{2+}$

  3. ${Cu}^{2+}$

  4. ${Cu}^{+}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

${Ni}^{2+}$ is light green, ${Fe}^{2+}$ is pale green, 


${Cu}^{2+}$ is blue and ${Cu}^{1+}$ is colorless in aqueous solution as its outermost configuration is $3d^{10}$ so thei is no unpaired electron which causes colour.

Hence ,option D is correct.

The color of the transition metal ions is due to:

  1. $d-d$ transition

  2. charge transfer

  3. change in the geometry

  4. none


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

In case of transition elements, where the d-level is not completely filled, it is possible to promote an electron from a lower energy d-orbital to a higher energy d-orbital by absorption of a photon of electromagnetic radiation having an appropriate energy. Electromagnetic radiations in the visible region of the spectrum often possess the appropriate energy for such transitions. 

Which of the following statements are correct with reference to the ferrous and ferric ions?

  1. ${Fe}^{3+}$ gives brown color with potassium ferricyanide

  2. ${Fe}^{2+}$ gives blue precipitate with potassium ferricyanide

  3. ${Fe}^{3+}$ gives red color with potassium thiocyanate

  4. ${Fe}^{2+}$ gives brown color with ammonium thiocyanate


Correct Option: B,C
