Multiple Choice
The complex ions of Zn2+ are all colorless.The most likely explanation for this is:
A) Zn2+ is paramagnetic.
B) Zn2+ exhibits "d orbital" splittings in its complexes such that they absorb all wavelengths in the visible region.
C) Since Zn2+ is a d10 ion,it does not absorb visible light even though the "d orbital" splittings are correct for absorbing visible wavelengths.
D) Zn2+ is not a transition metal ion.
E) None of these is correct.
