Solution
Most transition metal ions are coloured in solution and solid states. This is due to the partial absorption of visible light. The absorbed light excites the electron from one orbital to another orbital of the same d-subshell. Since the electronic transitions occur in the d-orbitals of metal ions, they are called d-d transitions. These appear coloured due to the d-d transitions that occur in transition metal ions by absorbing visible light.
