Chapter 22, Problem 22.8VP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The color for the solution of $\text{Ti}{\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)}_6^{3+}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Transition metals form colored compounds because of the interactions between electrons in d-orbitals and the lone pairs of electrons on ligands. Valence electrons present in metal ion undergo transitions from ground state energy level to excited state energy level by absorption of a photon of electromagnetic radiation.

To determine: The color for the solution of $\text{Ti}{\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)}_6^{3+}$.
