MCQ
$Ti^{3+}(aq)$ is violet while $Ti^{4+}(aq$) is colourless because$−$
  • A
    There is no crystal field effect in $Ti^{4+}$
  • B
    There energy difference between $t_{2g}$​ and eg​ of $Ti^{4+}$ is quite high and does not fall in the visible region.
  • C
    $Ti^{4+}$ has $d^0$ configuration.
  • $Ti^{4+}$ is very small in comparison to $Ti^{3+}$ and hance does not absorb any radiation.

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Ti^{4+}$ is very small in comparison to $Ti^{3+}$ and hance does not absorb any radiation.
$Ti^{+3}:\ d^1$ configuration have one unpaired $d-$electron so it is colourful but
$Ti^{+4}:\ d^0$ configuration have zero unpaired $d-$electron so it is colourless.
