Which of the following statements best explains why the titanium complex, [Ti(H₂O)6]4+, is colourless. The water ligands emit all wavelengths of light. There are multiple transitional energies, and all visible wavelengths are absorbed equally. The energy to excite the electron from the T2g orbital to the Eg orbital falls outside the visible spectrum. The transition metal possesses no d-electrons to be excited, therefore all wavelengths are transmitted. When the electrons relax back down in the transition metal, all wavelengths of light are emitted.

[Fe(OH₂)6]²+ is paramagnetic whereas [Fe(CN)6]4 is diamagnetic. Which of the following provides the best explanation for this? As a weak field ligand, H₂O induces a larger A, than CN, which is a strong field ligand. [Fe(OH₂)6]²+ is a positively charged complex whereas [Fe(CN)6]4 is a negatively charged complex. O [Fe(OH₂)6]²+ has fewer paired electrons because the pairing energy is larger than A.。. O [Fe(OH₂)6]²+ is a low spin complex while [Fe(CN)6]4 is a high spin complex.
