प्रश्न
Give reasons: Sc3+ is colourless in aqueous solution whereas Ti3+ is coloured.

उत्तर १
Sc3+ has no unpaired electron. So, it is colourless, whereas Ti3+ has one unpaired electron. Hence, it is coloured
उत्तर २
Compounds of transition elements are coloured due to the presence of unpaired electrons in d-orbitals as they show d-d-transition. In Sc+3 there are no d-electrons in Ti+3 there is one d-electrons.
