Question

Why are K3[Cr(C2O4)3].3H2O, K2[Cu(C2O4)2].2H2O and K3[Fe(C2O4)3].3H2O coloured, whereas K3[Al(C2O4)3.3H2O is colourless? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

If a body reflects only a/few color/s of the visible spectrum by absorbing remaining, it appears in that reflected color/s. In case of water, its tri-atomic (2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen) structure does not absorb any colors from the visible spectrum of the light. ... Hence water appears colorless while others do absorb

Answer 2

Due to presence of paired electron in K3[Al(C2O4)3.3H2O , it will show colorless.

What is paired electron?

Paired electrons would be those in an atom which occur in pairs in an orbital, while un-paired electrons would be those in an atom that occur alone in an orbital.

Such metals were transition elements, meaning their compounds include un-paired electrons. These un-paired electrons easily create excited energy states, allowing photons to be absorbed and color to be produced.

Therefore, due to the presence of paired electrons complex will be colorless.
