Question

Using crystal field theory, provide the splitting energy diagram of $$Cr^{3+} in$$ [CrCl_{6}]^{3–} and rationalize why [CrCl_{6}]^{3–} is colored.

Accepted Answer

[CrCl_{6}]^{3–} is colored because an electron can be promoted to the higher-energy d orbitals by absorbing light in the visible spectrum.

Answer

[CrCl_{6}]^{3–} is colored because an electron can be promoted to the higher-energy d orbitals by absorbing light in the ultraviolet spectrum.
