Question
Based on MOT, a solution of [TiCl6]3- is colored due to the electronic transition fromSelect one:t2g → egeg → t2gt2g → egeg → t2g
Solution
The color of the [TiCl6]3- solution is due to the electronic transition from t2g to eg. This is because in the Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT), the d-orbitals split into two sets in a ligand field - the lower energy t2g set and the higher energy eg set. When light is absorbed, an electron can be excited from the t2g set to the eg set, which corresponds to the color we see.
