MCQ
The color of $KMnO_4$ is due to :
  • $L\to M$ charge transfer transition
  • B
    $\sigma - \sigma ^*$ transition
  • C
    $M\to L$ charge transfer transition
  • D
    $d - d$ transition

Answer

Correct option: A.
$L\to M$ charge transfer transition
a
$K M n O_{4} \rightarrow K^{+}+M n O_{4}^{-}$

$\therefore \ln M n O_{4}^{-},$ Mn has $+7$ oxidation state having no electron in d-orbitals. It ts considered that higher the oxidation state of metal, greater is the tendency to occur $L \rightarrow M$ charge transfer,

because ligand is able to donate the electron into the vacant ( - orbital of metal.

since, charge transfer is laporate as well as spin allowed, therefore, it shows colour
