Q.792 The s- and p-block elements do not have a partially filled d-shell so there cannot be any d-d*
transition. The energy to promote as s- or p-electron to a higher energy level is much greater and
corresponds to ultraviolet light being absorbed. Thus compound will not be coloured.
Q.793 Hg2+ has all filled 5d orbitals (no unpaired electron is 5d), hence no d-d* transition, hence
colourless.
Sc3+ : [Ar] 3d0 no unpaired electron in d-orbital, hence no (d-d*) transition hence colourless.
Ti3+ : [Ar] 3d1 due to unpaired electron in d-orbital (d-d*) transition possible hence coloured.
Q.795 There is a steady decrease in the radii as the atomic number of the lanthanide element increases.
It is because, for every additional proton in a nucleus, the corresponding electron goes into 4f
shell which is too diffused to screen the nucleus as effectively as more localised inner shell. Hence
the attraction of the nucleus for the outermost electrons increases steadily with the atomic
number of the lanthanides. This contraction in size is quite regular. This is called Lanthanide
Contraction.
