Explain why most zinc and silver complexes are colorless. Zinc and silver both have only one common oxidation state. The magnitude of the d-orbital splitting, A, in zinc and silver complexes has an energy that falls just outside the range of visible light. O Zinc and silver are both form a dull oxide coating. O Zinc and silver both form d0 jons. Neither Zinc nor silver can form octahedral complexes.
