MCQ
Among the following the compound that is both paramagnetic and coloured is
  • A
    $K_2Cr_2O_7$
  • B
    $(NH_4)_2 [TiCl_6]$
  • $VOSO_4$
  • D
    $K_3Cu (CN)_4$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$VOSO_4$
c
$(d)$ In $K_3[Cu(CN)_4]$  $Cu$ is in $+1$ oxidation state hence has no unpaired electron hence colourless and diamagnetic.

$(b)$ In ${(N{H_4})_2}[TiC{l_6}]\,Ti$ is in $+4$ oxidation state, hence has no unpaired electron hence colourless and diamagnetic.

$(c)$ In $VOSO_4$, is in $+4$ oxidation state, hence has no unpaired electron ,thus it is coloured and paramagnetic.

$(a)$ In $K_2Cr_2O_7$  $Cr$ is in $+6$ oxidation state, hence has no unpaired electron and thus it is diamagnetic. Though $K_2Cr_2O_7$ has no unpaired electron but it is coloured. this is due to charge transfer.
