Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

The orange colour of $\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ and purple colour of $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ is due to

  1. A Charge transfer transition in both. Correct answer
  2. B $\mathrm{d} \rightarrow \mathrm{d}$ transitions in $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$ and charge transfer transitions in $\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$.
  3. C $\mathrm{d} \rightarrow \mathrm{d}$ transitions in both
  4. D $\mathrm{d} \rightarrow \mathrm{d}$ transitions in $\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ and charge transfer transitions in $\mathrm{KMnO}_4$.

Solution

<p>$$\left.\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_7 \rightarrow \mathrm{Cr}^{+6} \rightarrow \text { No d - d transition } \\ \mathrm{KMnO}_4 \rightarrow \mathrm{Mn}^{7+} \rightarrow \text { No d - d transition } \end{array}\right\} \text { Charge transfer }$$</p>
